Some wines are created to please the senses, but Champagne Krug stands to weave a narrative. This prestigious label epitomizes the courage, craftsmanship, and obsessive persistence of its founder, Johann-Joseph Krug. Krug, who was known for his uncompromising quest for quality, established his namesake house in 1843, determined to produce Champagne of unprecedented superiority.
Krug’s method to Champagne-making is unique. Each bottle is an exceptional mosaic of flavors, drawn from the finest grape varieties, reserve wines, and years that nature provides. This careful process ensures that every Krug Champagne enchants drinkers with its sophisticated and lively taste.
Renowned for its exquisite consistency, Krug’s Grande Cuvée is masterfully blended from over 120 wines from different years. This glorious creation leaves a lasting impression on any wine lover’s palate, with its interplay of depth, elegance, and vivacity.
Ignoring the conventional wisdom of using single-year grapes, Krug’s revolutionary and bold approach of blending different vintages yields Champagnes with deep exuberance and finesse. Krug's Vintage line, which is only produced in years where one variety particularly shines, is a testament to this expert art of blending. Krug Clos du Mesnil, a product exclusively from Chardonnay, and Krug Clos d’Ambonnay, created from Pinot Noir, here exhibit how the champagne house specializes in single-vineyard offerings too.
Consumers of Krug will equally appreciate their commitment to sustainability. With a philosophy of protecting Champagne’s unique terroir, Krug is a pioneer in viticultural research, particularly in combating vine diseases and climate change. This commitment extends to their careful wine-making processes which honor the Earth as much as the palate.
The unmistakable taste of Krug is the result of meticulous handcrafting, a multi-generational commitment to excellence, and a spirit of continuous innovation. Whether it's the rich notes of the Grand Cuvee, the crisp taste of the Rose, or the exceptional depth of their Vintage line, each sip of Krug invites you to experience a symphony of flavors that speak of its glorious past, devoted craftsmanship, and the spirit of authentic Champagne.
To conclude, Joseph Krug's vision – of creating the very best Champagne possible, regardless of annual climatic variations – has been achieved, establishing a legacy that lives on today in every glass of Champagne Krug. To savor Krug is to discover that dream, and appreciate why it stands as an ultimate expression of the magic of Champagne making.
