The Five Most Important Champagne Producers

Champagne House #4: Krug

Krug is one of the most respected champagne houses in the world, founded by Joseph Krug in 1843. The house is known for its unique approach to champagne production, which involves blending wines from different years, known as 'multivintage' or 'multivarietal' champagne. Krug is also known for its use of oak barrels to age its wines, a technique that is not commonly used in champagne production.

One of the signature blends of Krug is the Grande Cuvée, which is a blend of over 120 different wines from different years. The house also produces vintage champagnes, such as the Krug Vintage, which is made from grapes from a single year. However, even the vintage champagnes are made using a blend of wines from different vineyards and different grape varieties, which is a hallmark of Krug's style.

Krug is also known for its commitment to quality, with each bottle of champagne going through an extensive tasting process before being released to the market. The house also produces a small number of prestige cuvées, such as the Krug Clos d'Ambonnay, which is made from grapes from a single vineyard.

Overall, Krug is a unique and highly respected champagne house, known for its innovative approach to champagne production and its commitment to quality.
