Its final composition is 44% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier. Reserve wines from the house's extensive library made up 42% of the final blend.

Tasting notes: Beautiful notes of dried citrus fruit, lemon curd and dried apples with hints of spices, dried flowers and subtle brioche. I like the polished and caressing texture and stable, refreshing acidity. It is fresh and even tight with notes of ground spices. - Taste of James Suckling

“Beautiful notes of dried citrus fruit, lemon curd and dried apples with hints of spices, dried flowers and subtle brioche. I like the polished and caressing texture and steady, refreshing acidity. It's fresh and even austere, with notes of ground spices. So vertical and firm. Structured and long. Drink or hold.” JamesSuckling.com, Mar 2024

“The NV Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition is a gracious, sublime Champagne. Light citrus notes, white flowers, spice, marzipan and chamomile inflections all run through this delicate, nuanced Grande Cuvée. The 172eme is a Champagne of understatement and class that is very much a reflection of the base year. Brisk acids pull it all together. The Grande Cuvée is often quite accessible on release, but this is an Edition I would cellar for at least another year or two. It's a fine effort from Krug. The 172ème Édition is a blend of 44% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier based on 2016 with reserve wines back to 1998. Disgorged: Winter 2022-2023. Krug ID: 123003.” vinous.com, Mar 2024
Krug believes that each individual wine in the finished blend in Krug Grande Cuvée is in itself like a single ingredient. 172 Édition pays tribute to the flowers. Here are three dishes out of over 100 dishes, put together by the skilled chefs. The book contains a list of ingredients and a cooking guide for all dishes.
Chef Josh Emett from restaurant Onslow has paired the 172 Edition with begonia, peas and marshmallow flowers. Together they bring citrus notes and a delicate sweetness to his Scampi Crudo recipe - perfect to pair with a glass of Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition.
Krug Ambassade Chef Matthew Kammerer's Marigold Ice Cream with honeycomb garnish creates a delightful interplay of flavors and textures on the palate when paired with a glass of Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition.
Krug Ambassade Chef Pavel Býček reinterprets a simple and traditional Czech dish, Koprovka: Dill sauce with wild dill flowers, poached egg and potatoes for a glass of Krug Grande Cuvée.
"Each year since the foundation of the house (1843) a new edition of Krug Grande Cuvée has been created, each year the inspiration will be the same, but the creation will be completely unique and different." Olivier Krug
