Joseph Krug founded the house after a spell working at Jacquesson in 1842. The house is soley focussed on quality, ruthless selecton of vines and parcels of wines. All wines are fermented in small, old barriques, little to no malolactic is used and all go through a very slow second fermentation. The youngest wines undergo between five and seven years lees contact and can be made up of up to fifteen different vintages. This is a prestige cuvee house of the highest quality.

“From: Champagne: The 2024 Spring Preview (Mar 2024)
The 2004 Vintage is a gorgeous Champagne that is just beginning to enter its first plateau of maturity. Dried flowers, brioche, mint, marzipan, tangerine peel and spice lend notable nuance throughout. A hint of reduction adds intrigue. As always, the 2004 is a linear, focused Champagne endowed with terrific energy. It is impeccably done. There’s a bit more Chardonnay and Meunier than usual in this vintage, and that very much comes through in the wine’s personality and overall feel. The blend is 37% Pinot Noir, 39% Chardonnay and 24% Meunier as opposed to the more classic 50%/35%/15% blend. Disgorged: Summer 2018. Krug ID: 318031.” 2024 – 2044
98 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
At first sight, the beautiful light golden colour promises radiant freshness.The nose begins with an expressive bouquet of ginger, candied citrus and quince, followed by richer notes evoking lemon meringue tart, plum and mirabelle. On the palate, a very balanced Champagne with light notes of brioche and honey giving way to an array of fresh citrus, including oranges, lemons and mandarins, enhanced by a very elegant finish. After a chill start to the growing season, the beautiful weather from mid September to early October ensured that 2004 was a generous year following the challenging extremes and small yields of 2003. Nature’s elation afforded a breadth of choice and the harvested grapes were in very good condition. For Krug, the year 2004 gave birth to highly expressive, bright, undeniably elegant and discreet wines with a shining structure.
39% Chardonnay, 37% Pinot Noir, 24% Meunier
