Krug
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Krug is a prestige Champagne house founded in 1843 and based in Reims, France, producing exclusively multi-vintage and single-vintage blends across all its expressions. The house draws from a private reserve library of wines spanning up to fifteen years to assemble the Grande Cuvée, a multi-vintage non-dosage blend incorporating all three classic Champagne varieties - Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Each edition of the Grande Cuvée carries a numbered release, with the 169th, 171st, and 172nd Editions representing distinct assemblages built from different harvest years. The Krug Vintage program, represented here by the 1982 and 2002 releases, sources exclusively from a single exceptional harvest. The Grande Cuvée serves as the house's signature entry point, while the rare Vintage bottlings, aged a minimum of fifteen years before release, represent Krug's most time-intensive work.
