Champagne Krug

Champagne Krug is a Champagne house based in Reims for over 160 years. The Krug house was founded in 1843 by Johann-Joseph Krug, originally from Mainz (under French rule - see: History of Mainz). It now belongs to the luxury group LVMH. It is run by Rémi Krug, representing the fifth generation, and by cellar master Éric Lebel.

Among the main techniques used are wood vinification in small 205-litre barrels made from oak from the Argonne forest. Averaging 35 years old, the barrels are repaired by the house's coopers and reused from one year to the next. According to the cellar master: "The longevity of our champagnes is intimately linked to the time they spend in the barrels." Krug champagnes are only sold when mature, in 2005 the 1990 vintage was delivered. For some champagnes, the house releases old vintages that have been kept even longer, such as the 1981 vintage which was disgorged and marketed in 2006 with less than 2,000 bottles under the Krug Collection label.
