Krug

When and how was Maison Krug founded?

Maison Krug was founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug in Reims, France. Joseph, a native of Alsace, had the ambition to create champagne of exceptional quality, focusing on blending wines from different parcels and years to ensure unique richness and complexity.

What makes Krug champagnes unique?
Krug champagnes are distinguished by their complexity, richness and depth. The house uses a very careful blending method, combining wines from different grape varieties (mainly pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier) and from different years. The result is champagnes with great personality and remarkable ageing potential.

What are Krug's emblematic cuvées?

• Krug Grande Cuvée: The house's flagship cuvée, it is composed of wines from several years, offering aromatic richness, a creamy texture and a lingering finish.
• Krug Rosé: An elegant rosé cuvée, combining the power of pinot noir with the finesse of chardonnay, with red fruit aromas and complexity.
• Krug Vintage: Produced only in great years, this cuvée represents the purest expression of Krug's terroir and style, offering a unique tasting experience.
