Maison Krug – The Art of Champagne Excellence
Founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, Maison Krug follows a unique vision: to craft the most generous expression of Champagne, regardless of climatic variations. Staying true to this philosophy, Krug creates wines of unparalleled richness and complexity by blending a mosaic of wines from different years and parcels.
Krug is one of the few houses to vinify each parcel separately in small oak casks, preserving the authenticity and individuality of each terroir. This artisanal approach imparts exceptional depth, silky texture, and remarkable aging potential to Krug champagnes.
Its iconic Krug Grande Cuvée is re-created every year from a blend of approximately 120 wines spanning more than 10 vintages, ensuring timeless richness and elegance.
