Αγκαλιά

Krug is one of the most prestigious names in Champagne, revered for its uncompromising craftsmanship, deep complexity, and unique approach to blending. Founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, the house set out with a clear philosophy: to produce Champagne of the same exceptional quality every year, regardless of vintage variation, by drawing on an extensive library of reserve wines.

Today, Krug is part of the LVMH group but retains its small-scale, artisanal production ethos, making it one of the most sought-after luxury Champagnes in the world.

A Vision from the Start

Joseph Krug believed that Champagne should be made with a focus on excellence rather than simply reflecting the character of a single year. To achieve this, he committed to maintaining an extraordinary collection of reserve wines from multiple vintages and vineyards. This philosophy is still at the core of Krug’s production, allowing the house to deliver remarkable consistency while preserving individuality.

The Art of Blending

Krug’s meticulous blending process is legendary. Each year, the cellar team, led today by Cellar Master Julie Cavil, tastes hundreds of wines from the latest harvest alongside reserve wines that may be more than 15 years old. This painstaking work results in a multi-layered, harmoniously balanced Champagne that delivers both immediate pleasure and remarkable ageing potential.

Krug vinifies every plot of vines separately in small oak barrels — a rare practice in Champagne — to capture the distinct personality of each parcel. This allows for extraordinary precision when blending.

Flavour and Style

Krug Champagnes are known for their generosity, layered complexity, and rich texture. Expect aromas of toasted brioche, hazelnuts, dried fruit, citrus zest, and floral notes, followed by a palate that combines freshness with depth, leading to a long, elegant finish.

Prestige and Pairing

Krug is a Champagne for moments of celebration, but it is also prized by gastronomes for its versatility at the table. Its depth allows it to pair beautifully with dishes ranging from seafood and truffles to roasted poultry and aged cheeses.
