Krug Grande Cuvée Brut Champagne – 750ml
A Symphony in a Bottle: The Most Generous Expression of Champagne.
Krug Grande Cuvée is a masterpiece of artistry and patience, a Champagne that transcends the very notion of vintage. Born from the dream of founder Joseph Krug in 1843, each 750ml bottle represents the fullest expression of Champagne possible, recreated year after year regardless of climate variations. It is not a non-vintage, but a ‘multi-vintage’—a breathtaking symphony of different wines from numerous years, composed to create an unparalleled richness and complexity of flavour.
The Vision of Joseph Krug: The House of Krug was founded on a revolutionary idea: to craft the very best Champagne he could offer, every single year. To achieve this, he established an extensive library of reserve wines, allowing the House to overcome the unpredictable nature of a single harvest. Today, each new “Édition” of Krug Grande Cuvée honours this vision. It is a blend of over 120 different wines from more than 10 different years, expertly woven together by the Cellar Master to create a Champagne that simply could not be achieved from the wines of a single year.
A Mosaic of Flavours: Crafted from a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, the creation of each Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée is a journey that takes over 20 years. This includes an extended period of at least seven years ageing in the cellars in Reims, which allows the Champagne to develop its extraordinary expression, finesse, and elegance. The result is a sensory experience of remarkable depth and contrast.
Tasting Profile:
- Nose: An expansive bouquet of flowers in bloom, ripe and dried citrus fruits, marzipan, and delicate notes of gingerbread.
- Palate: A truly remarkable and generous palate. Flavours of hazelnut, nougat, toasted brioche, and honey unfold alongside fresh jellied and citrus fruits, leading to a vibrant and elegant finish.
- Finish: A long, complex, and memorable finish that showcases a perfect balance between richness and freshness.
