Item Description

Krug Grande Cuvee 3L Bottle


Krug Grande Cuvée is the timelessly stylish signature of Krug, a breathtaking champagne
that effortlessly balances richness and freshness, power and finesse.
Out of contrast, harmony – a sensational taste experience.

TASTE
A gleaming gold color, an extravagantly expansive bouquet, an almost creamy
texture. Then, an explosion of flavors, at once mellow and mature, crisp and clean.
Toast – Soft spices – Dried fruit – Candied fruit

COMPOSITION
Krug Grande Cuvée is the supreme demonstration of the Krug art of blending.
No recipe can define its intricate harmony, so every year the Krug family works
from taste and memory alone to recreate this most complex of champagnes.
Typically, Krug Grande Cuvée is blended from as many as 50 wines from three
grape varieties, 20 to 25 growths, and six to ten different years.

THE KRUG OF KRUGS
Krug Grande Cuvée is the ultimate expression of the Krug style – so much so that
all other Krugs may be said to have something of the Grande Cuvée in them. Krug
Rosé, for example, takes the spicy notes of the Grande Cuvée to a new peak, while
Krug Clos du Mesnil is more mineral. According to Rémi Krug: “If Johann-Joseph Krug tasted today’s Grande Cuvée, he would no doubt say that it was exactly what he dreamt
of when he founded Krug in 1843”.
