Some wines are created to satisfy the palette, but Champagne Krug stands to weave a narrative. This prestigious label epitomizes the courage, ingenuity, and unrelenting persistence of its founder, Joseph Krug. Krug, who was known for his unyielding 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 excellent grape varieties, reserve wines, and years that nature provides. This careful process ensures that every Krug Champagne captivates drinkers with its multi-faceted and unique taste.
Renowned for its excellent consistency, Krug’s Grande Cuvée is skillfully blended from over 120 wines from different years. This grand creation leaves a lasting impression on any wine lover’s palate, with its interplay of full-bodiedness, grace, and vivacity.
Ignoring the standard wisdom of using single-year grapes, Krug’s revolutionary and bold approach of blending different vintages produces Champagnes with intense exuberance and finesse. Their Vintage line, which is only created 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, demonstrate how the champagne house specializes in single-vineyard offerings too.
Drinkers of Krug will equally appreciate their commitment to sustainability. With a philosophy of preserving Champagne’s unique terroir, Krug is a pioneer in viticultural research, particularly in combating vine diseases and climate change. This dedication extends to their careful wine-making processes which honor the Earth as much as the palate.
The indelible taste of Krug is the result of meticulous handcrafting, a generations-long commitment to unrivaled quality, and a sustained 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 take part read more in a symphony of flavors that speak of its glorious past, committed craftsmanship, and the spirit of authentic Champagne.
