The House was established in Reims in 1843, by Joseph Krug, a visionary non-conformist with an uncompromising philosophy. Having understood that the true essence of Champagne is pleasure itself, his dream was to craft the very best Champagne he could offer, every single year, regardless of annual variations in climate. 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.
With a very original approach to Champagne making, he decided to go beyond the notion of vintage to create the most generous expression of Champagne, every year. Thus, he founded a House in which all Champagnes are of the same level of distinction.
Since 1843, six generations of the Krug family have perpetuated this dream, enriching the Joseph Krug’s vision and savoir faire. Today, the Family House welcomes Krug Lovers from around the world to take a sensorial journey around Krug Champagne.

It is a beautifully balanced, harmonious wine that delivers on so many levels. There is plenty here to satisfy both the intellectual and purely hedonistic senses. Layers of fruit build effortlessly to the seamless, glorious finish. This is a dazzling Clos du Mesnil. |

| Robert Parker Rating | 98 RP - Entirely crafted from Pinot Noir sourced in a single parcel of Clos d'Ambonnay, Krug's 2006 Blanc de Noirs Brut Clos d’Ambonnay is one of my favorite vintages at this address. Evoking aromas of spices, smoke, white fruits, brioche, pastry, dried herbs, plum and ripe orchard fruits, it possesses a full-bodied, round and charming mid-palate framed by a crystalline and pure texture. It has a delicately phenolic mid-palate and pinpoint mousse that leads to a long, mineral and saline finish marked by subtle iodine notes and gastronomic bitterness. Classic and precise, this is purity and elegance incarnate. Though already superb, readers should be patient to enjoy this Champagne at its peak. |

| Antonio Galloni Rating | 98 AG - Krug’s 2006 Clos d’Ambonnay is superb. It offers a beguiling interplay of richness from the warm, solar year and strong mineral underpinnings that wrap it all together. Hints of apricot, plum, baked apple tart and spice soar out of the glass. Soft, curvy and exceptionally well-balanced, the 2006 is the most sensual young Clos d’Ambonnay I have tasted. This is a magnificent showing from Krug. That’s pretty much all there is to it. Best of all, the 2006 is a rare Clos d’Ambonnay that can be enjoyed upon release. Harvest took place over two days and wrapped up on September 22, considered late at the time. |
