Multi-vintage produced by advanced blending techniques passed down from generation to generation.
At Krug, we create champagne that faithfully reproduces the vision of the first owner, ``to produce Champagne of the highest quality every year, regardless of the weather.'' What makes this possible is the advanced blending techniques passed down from generation to generation by the Krug family.
Our flagship cuvée, Krug Grande Cuvée, is a blend of over 120 wines from over 10 years of harvest. The oldest wines used are those that are over 20 years old. These are blended with Krug's unique attention to detail, expressing a rich taste and aroma that cannot be found in wines from a single year. For this reason, although it is normally classified as non-vintage, it is called ``multi-vintage'' with a sense of awe.
Another feature of Krug Champagne is that it is fermented in small French oak barrels. Using old barrels that are over 30 years old, the extremely time-consuming and careful manufacturing process of primary fermentation at low temperatures for a long period of time produces an excellent aroma and a rich flavor that can be described as the ultimate in complexity that Krug is proud of. is.
Krug's gorgeous, exquisite, and sophisticated Champagne continues to enchant lovers all over the world, and continues to be a unique product that is unrivaled.
