Krug stands for the unyielding – the courage to make Champagne the way it feels right, not the way it is currently trending. Since 1843, the house in Reims has followed a single conviction: every grape, every year, every site deserves to be treated as the best it can ever be.
The heart is the assemblage of up to 120 wines and ten vintages – a mosaic of aromas that creates Krug's unmistakable depth and complexity. Rich bread dough, roasted hazelnuts, ripe fruit – a glass of Krug tells a whole story.

About Krug
Krug –
Champagne from Reims, uncompromising since 1843
Krug was founded by Joseph Krug in 1843 in Reims with an idea that was and is unusual: not to bottle a vintage, but to combine the best of many years into a single, harmonious Champagne. The heart of every cuvée is an assemblage of up to 120 individual wines and ten vintages – a job that requires decades of experience and a precise sensory memory.
What emerges in the glass is not a light sparkling wine lightness, but depth: roasted hazelnut, ripe bread dough, a hint of dried apricot, long mineral finish. The wines mature on the lees far beyond the legal minimum requirements – the Grande Cuvée for about six years, vintage Champagnes significantly longer. Krug makes no compromise between accessibility and complexity: both should be there at the same time.
The range extends from the iconic Grande Cuvée to rare Blanc de Blancs from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger to the single-vineyard Champagnes Clos du Mesnil and Clos d'Ambonnay. Whoever drinks Krug does not drink a product – but an attitude.
