Krug

Krug is a Champagne house based in Reims, France, producing exclusively sparkling wines within the Champagne appellation. The house operates under the traditional méthode champenoise, crafting their champagnes from the three classic Champagne grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.

The Champagne region, where Krug is located, is renowned for its unique terroir combining chalky soils, cool climate, and specific grape varieties that create the foundation for premium sparkling wine production. Champagne houses typically focus on blending wines from different vineyards, vintages, and grape varieties to achieve consistency and complexity. The region's strict appellation controls govern everything from grape growing to production methods, ensuring the distinctive character of true Champagne.

Krug's current range demonstrates the house's approach to both vintage and non-vintage expressions. Their Grande Cuvée represents a multi-vintage blend, while their Rosé offers the complexity of all three Champagne grape varieties in a prestige cuvée format. The 2006 Vintage showcases wines from a single exceptional year, reflecting the specific conditions and character of that harvest.
