Some wines are created to satisfy the palette, but Champagne Krug stands to tell a story. This prestigious label epitomizes the courage, craftsmanship, and obsessive persistence of its founder, Joseph Krug. Krug, who was known for his uncompromising quest for quality, established his namesake house in 1843, determined to create Champagne of unprecedented superiority.
Krug’s approach to Champagne-making is distinctive. Each bottle is an incredible mosaic of flavors, drawn from the finest vineyards, reserve wines, and years that nature provides. This careful process ensures that every Krug Champagne captivates drinkers with its sophisticated and vibrant taste.
Renowned for its exquisite consistency, Krug’s Grande Cuvée is masterfully 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 depth, grace, and freshness.
Ignoring the accepted wisdom of using single-year grapes, Krug’s ground-breaking and audacious approach of blending different vintages results in Champagnes with deep exuberance and finesse. Krug's Vintage line, which is only made in years where one variety particularly shines, is a testament to this expert art of blending. Krug Clos du Mesnil, a creation exclusively from Chardonnay, and Krug Clos d’Ambonnay, made from Pinot Noir, demonstrate how the champagne house specializes in single-vineyard offerings too.
Consumers of Krug will equally appreciate their commitment to sustainability. With a philosophy of guarding Champagne’s unique terroir, Krug is a pioneer in viticultural research, especially in combating vine diseases and climate change. This commitment extends to their meticulous wine-making processes which honor the Earth as much as the palate.
The unmistakable taste of Krug is the result of meticulous handcrafting, a generations-long commitment to perfection, and here 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 immerse in a symphony of tastes that speak of its glorious past, devoted craftsmanship, and the spirit of authentic Champagne.
To conclude, Joseph Krug's desire – to create 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 experience that dream, and comprehend why it stands as an ultimate expression of the magic of Champagne making.
