The Krug NV Assortment Case represents the ultimate exploration of the House's blending mastery, offering a curated journey through Joseph Krug's founding philosophy established in 1843. Rather than relying on the whims of a single harvest, Joseph sought to craft the most generous expression of Champagne every single year. This assortment typically showcases the legendary Krug Grande Cuvee—a spectacular assemblage of over 120 wines from more than ten different vintages—alongside other iconic cuvees like Krug Rose. Each bottle in the assortment benefits from Krug's signature primary fermentation in small, seasoned oak casks, which imparts unparalleled micro-oxygenation and structural complexity. The reserve wine library, with some components dating back over fifteen years, acts as the master blender's palette, ensuring that each cuvee delivers the signature Krug profile of toasted brioche, dried citrus, hazelnut, and deep, mineral-driven tension. This collection is a testament to the art of patience, precision, and the rich heritage of Reims.

Founded in Reims in 1843 by Joseph Krug, the House of Krug has established itself as one of Champagne's most legendary and uncompromising names. Operating from its historic cellars at 5 Rue Coquebert, the house is celebrated for its traditional production methods, notably fermenting all its base wines in small oak casks and maintaining an unparalleled library of reserve wines to achieve extraordinary complexity. This meticulous approach yields deeply structured, age-worthy sparkling wines, ranging from the iconic multi-vintage Grande Cuvée to rare, single-vineyard masterpieces like Clos d'Ambonnay, a highly coveted Blanc de Noirs sourced from a tiny walled plot in the heart of Ambonnay.
