The Krug Grande Cuvée Brut NV is the iconic expression of the House of Krug, embodying its unwavering commitment to crafting the ultimate Champagne experience. This non-vintage cuvée is an intricate blend of over 120 wines from more than 10 different vintages, with reserve wines aged up to 15 years contributing to its unparalleled depth and complexity. Presented here in the convenient 375ml half-bottle format, it offers an intimate glimpse into Krug’s signature style, ideal for smaller gatherings or personal indulgence.

On the nose, this Champagne reveals a rich bouquet of flowers in bloom, ripe and dried fruits, marzipan, gingerbread, and citrus. The palate is equally enchanting, offering layers of hazelnut, nougat, jellied and citrus fruits, brioche, almonds, and a touch of honey. The fine and vivacious bubbles, combined with a luminous golden hue, lead to a harmonious and lingering finish that showcases its elegance and balance.

This Champagne pairs beautifully with seafood such as lobster or scallops, poultry dishes, or rich cheeses like Comté. Its versatility makes it equally suited for celebratory moments or gourmet meals. While approachable upon release, the Krug Grande Cuvée Brut NV has the potential to age gracefully, developing even greater nuance over time. It is a masterful blend that captures the essence of Krug’s philosophy, offering a symphony of flavors and aromas in every sip.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 94

"Light gold. Nectarine, poached pear, toasted nuts, anise and buttered toast on the complex, mineral-tinged nose. Deeply concentrated but energetic and precise as well, offering sappy orchard and pit fruit flavors along with notes of brioche and marzipan. A bitter citrus pith note adds definition to the impressively long, smoky finish. Shows more power and heft than I've experienced from this bottling in recent years." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 95

"Krug’s NV Brut Grande Cuvee ID 112001 -- disgorged already over the winter of 2011-2012 but then further aged before release -- reinforces the belief that, thankfully, even wine lovers of modest means who occasionally splurge on Krug Grande Cuvee will be rewarded with a wine that need not fear comparison with this house’s more limited and far more expensive bottlings, nor for that matter with any other wines of Champagne. The harmonious juxtaposition of creaminess and lees enrichment with bright, juicy citricity and of expansive richness with levity is stunning....Citrus zest notes segue seamlessly into the fine stream of CO2 without bitterness, while succulent white peach garlanded in lily-of-the-valley is laced with rich, subtly piquant nut oils and saliva-liberating salinity. Emerging suggestions of shitake and shrimp shell reduction compound the sense of capital-'U' umami in a vibrantly interactive and refreshing finish. A day after opening, this is even more vividly complex than it had been initially, with hints of fresh red raspberry lending an invigorating tang and sensation of berry seed-crunching that delivers strikingly harmonious counterpoint to both the luscious brightness of fruit and the nutty low-tones....The team at Krug has long taken pains to emphasize that the task of assembling their Grande Cuvee from a hundred or more lots reflecting reserves of widely varying ages is mind-bogglingly complex. So is the result." -Robert Parker

Decanter

D 95

"A distinctive nose with honey, toast and cashew leads to a palate that's just as powerful and pronounced, with an exotic, dry, umami richness comprising dried crystalline fruits, peach, biscuit and cream, and a touch of well-executed oak. Good acidity and terrific length."

Wine Spectator

WS 95

"This mouthwatering Champagne shows a lovely sense of finesse, with firm acidity deftly married to a rich profile of crème de cassis, toasted brioche and lime blossom, accented by hints of café au lait, singed orange peel and exotic spice. Long and plush on the finish."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 94

"This rounded, well-textured wine is dominated by Pinot Noir, with a distinctly mineral streak from the Chardonnay. Poised between richness and elegance, it is ready to drink. Krug numbers the successive blends of its Grande Cuvée because it regards each blending as unique."

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
