Krug Grande Cuvée – Prestige Multi-Vintage Champagne Brut – Bulk Wholesale Supply (75cl Standard / Magnum / Half-Bottle / Edition Cases)
Krug Grande Cuvée is the ultimate expression of the House of Krug’s philosophy: creating the most generous Champagne possible, regardless of vintage variations. Founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, the house has pursued a singular vision – to craft prestige cuvées of remarkable depth and individuality, re-released each year as a new “Édition” .
Unlike vintage Champagnes that reflect a single year’s harvest, Krug Grande Cuvée is a multi-vintage blend of extraordinary complexity. Each Édition combines over 120 wines from more than 10 different vintages, with some reserve wines aged for up to 15 years . The result is a Champagne of unmatched depth, creaminess, and aromatic intensity.
Every bottle reflects an obsession with detail, from fermentation in small oak casks (a rarity in Champagne today) to extended ageing on the lees. This house style produces wines of extraordinary complexity and character .
