IdentityKRUG

The House of Krug was established in 1843 by Joseph Krug, a visionary with an uncompromising philosophy. His dream was to craft the very best Champagne possible every single year, regardless of annual variations in the weather. He was able to fulfill his dream by paying close attention to the unique character of the vineyard, respecting the individuality of each plot and the wine it produced, and by building an extensive library of reserve wines from many different years.Combining so many wines from different years produces a richness of flavors and aromas that would be impossible to express with only the wines of a single year. And thus was born the very first Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée, the most generous expression of champagne.Six generations of the Krug family have perpetuated this dream, continually enriching the founder’s vision and savoir faire.

We have inherited the Krug philosophy from our founder, Joseph Krug. He transcended the traditional boundaries of making champagne to create the highest possible quality champagne each and every year, regardless of changes in the weather from one year to the next. At Krug we harvest each plot separately to produce a unique wine that expresses all the nuances of its personality. This art of individuality  allows the Tasting Committee and me to each year create a new Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée, the most generous expression of champagne.
