Cava - Champagne Juvé & Camps Gran Reserva

Gran Juvé Camps is produced using only the very best wines made with grapes from exceptional harvests.

Juvé y Camps has been a family run company for three generations and has garnered an international reputation. Over two hundred years ago, Joan Juvé Mir, a bold and enterprising vine grower with ideas way ahead of his time, laid the foundations of what would become the family firm.

He began the task which was carried on by his son, Antoni Juvé Escaiola, who, amongst other challenges, had to confront the effects of the terrible phylloxera plague. Advocating replanting, with other leading figures of the Penedes, he led a drive to restore the vineyards and to rebuild the wine production of the region.

A man respected and loved by his contemporaries, his example encouraged his son, Joan Juvé Baqués, to build the family's first winery. He married Teresa Camps Farré, an exceptional woman and an enthusiastic supporter who inspired her husband to launch, in 1921, the first sparkling wine under the "Juvé" brand. It was made in the underground cellars beneath the family home in San Sadurní d'Anoia.

Gran Juvé Camps is produced using only the very best wines made with grapes from exceptional harvests, obtained from our Espiells estate, one of the most celebrated vineyards in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, and from Mediona in the Upper Penedès. It is a cava with an expressive golden colour that still retains pale tones in spite of its long ageing. Its splendid effervescence generates a large number of ephemeral streams of bubbles, which rise up to the surface forming a stable crown. Its aroma is penetrating, complex, light-hearted and very fresh. This is a surprising cava because, despite being a Gran Reserva, it maintains a great deal of freshness in which one can make out clear notes of white flowers and fleshy fruit. Its complexity increases progressively and, very soon, lightly toasted notes and a honey background can be discerned. Its texture in the mouth is intense and evocative - a real joy. Its effervescence gently caresses the palate, revealing all the creaminess of its mousse. Unctuous and very persistent, it leaves us with a memory of its deep, delicate aromas.
