"Krug Grande Cuve is as a symphony, a composition where the instruments all play together, complementing each other in total harmony."
-Henri Krug.

The flagship of the house, Grande Cuve is imposing in character from the first moment in the glass. The "birth" of Krug Grande Cuve, through its first fermentation exclusively in small oak casks, ensures the unique personality and dimension that is the Krug Style. The composition of the "cuve" is a stunning mosaic of flavors where the three champagne grapes, 20-25 growths and 6-10 different years, combine to give Krug Grande Cuve its complexity, elegance and consistency year after year, blend after blend.

To maintain this consistency, Krug reserves a large selection of unblended still wines from previous vintages blending them with the youngest crop to create a fully balanced taste. These "reserve" wines may represent between a third and a half of the cuve.

The bouquet is wonderfully creamy, leading to magical combination of weight and balance on the palate. The long, lingering finish is both nutty and toasty, ending with a final flourish of freshness, leaving one longing for more.
