In Portrait:

Champagne Krug

Champagne Krug is regarded as one of the most iconic voices of Champagne – a house that has stood uncompromisingly for individuality, depth and craftsmanship since 1843. Founded by Johann-Joseph Krug with the vision of creating the most perfect Champagne every year, the Maison still follows this philosophy today: every Krug cuvée is an artful mosaic of dozens of individual base wines and several vintages.

Krug Champagnes combine power and precision with exceptional aromatic diversity: brioche and nutty richness, saline minerality, vibrant structure and a rare, almost orchestral complexity. Above all, Grande Cuvée – composed each year as its own edition – is considered worldwide to be one of the finest non-vintage prestige cuvées.

Krug stands for luxurious craftsmanship, exceptional longevity and a style that has fascinated collectors and enthusiasts for generations.

Champagne

Origin in Focus

Champagne

Champagne in north-eastern France is the home of the world’s most famous sparkling wine. The cool climate, limestone and chalk soils, and a long tradition of bottle fermentation shape its unmistakable style: tension, finesse and characteristic minerality. The main grape varieties are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier.
