Champagne Krug

Joseph Krug founded Maison Krug in 1843, driven by his understanding that the true essence of champagne is pleasure itself. His dream was to craft the very best champagne he could offer, every year, regardless of annual climate variations. 

Paying close attention to the vineyard’s character, respecting the individuality of each plot and its wine, as well as building an extensive library of reserve wines from many different years allowed Joseph Krug to fulfil his dream. Thus, the first Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée was born.

By going beyond the notion of vintage to create the most generous expression of champagne, every year, he founded a House in which all champagnes are of the same level of distinction, with an undisputed quality.

Champagne Krug became a Comité Colbert member in 1965.

Its signature

Krug Grande Cuvée is born from the dream of Joseph Krug to craft the very best champagne he could offer, every single year, regardless of annual variations in climate. Since 1843, Krug has honoured this vision with each new Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée: the most generous expression of champagne. 

The address

Maison Krug is based in Reims, where it was founded in 1843. From the Family House and its historic cellars to the Maison’s iconic walled vineyards known as Clos, or the new Joseph winery in Ambonnay, Krug is embedded in the regional landscape and committed to preserving it.
