It takes more than twenty years to produce each bottle of Krug Grande Cuvée, created beyond the very concept of a vintage to offer the most generous expression of Champagne according to Krug, with exceptional finesse.
Since 1843, Krug Grande Cuvée has embodied the champagne that the House's founder, Joseph Krug, wanted to offer his customers so that they could enjoy the best that Champagne has to offer every year, regardless of the vagaries of the weather.
Krug Grande Cuvée is the signature of the House, the embodiment of Krug's philosophy and expertise. It is the result of a blend of more than 120 wines from ten vintages, some of which have been aged for 15 years.
The blend of these many years gives Krug Grande Cuvée a unique richness of aromas and flavors, as well as an incredible generosity that could not be expressed with wines from a single year.
It then develops exceptional finesse during a further six years of rest in our cellars.
The Krug ID
Each bottle of Krug tells its own story. Thanks to the Krug ID, a six-digit number found on the back label of each bottle, Eric Lebel, our Cellar Master, recounts what makes each cuvée unique, from the challenges of the season to the details of its creation. The Krug ID also serves as a reference for storing bottles of Krug Champagne for future enjoyment, particularly Krug Grande Cuvée, which, like all Krug champagnes, ages beautifully.
