Description
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.
Presentation of Julie Cavil, winemaker at Krug
Its mosaic of aromas has made Krug Grande Cuvée the richest of all cuvées.
Its generosity ensures that everyone will find something to awaken their senses: it has a story to tell everyone.
We could compare the creation of a Krug Grande Cuvée to that of a traditional French dish: ratatouille. This parallel may seem surprising, but there are two ways to prepare ratatouille.
Either you throw all the ingredients into a pot at the same time and, in 20 minutes, your ratatouille is ready.
Or you decide to respect and preserve the taste of each vegetable by cooking them separately and only combining them at the end of the cooking process, then leaving them to blend harmoniously for a while. This brings out the best in each ingredient and results in a sublime dish.
The second method is certainly more laborious, but the dish gains in color, aroma, and texture. At Krug, our goal is to get the best out of each plot, to give it the time it needs to fully express the potential of its grapes, and only then to proceed with the blending.
In the tasting room, we taste the result to confirm that we have used the right plot, in the right place.
