Champagne Krug is one of the most prestigious and revered Champagne houses in the world. Founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug in Reims, the house has built its reputation on a philosophy of craftsmanship, patience and the pursuit of the fullest possible expression of Champagne. Today Krug is part of the LVMH group but continues to follow the original vision established by its founder.
The house is renowned for its meticulous blending process. Krug Champagnes are typically created from a complex assemblage of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, drawn from numerous vineyard parcels and multiple reserve wines from different years. The wines are fermented in small oak barrels and aged extensively in the cellars, allowing them to develop extraordinary depth and complexity.
Krug Champagnes are celebrated for their rich texture and remarkable aromatic intensity. Notes of ripe citrus, toasted brioche, hazelnut, honey and dried fruit often emerge, supported by a powerful yet refined structure and a long, persistent finish.
Food pairing: Krug Champagne pairs beautifully with oysters, lobster, caviar and refined seafood dishes. Its depth and richness also complement dishes such as roasted poultry, truffle preparations, aged cheeses or creamy risotto. Discover more combinations in our food pairing guide.
