Montagne de Reims
Krug
Overlooked as one of the jewels of the Champagne region, embodies the art and passion of creating exceptional Champagnes for over 170 years.
Founded in 1843 by Johann-Joseph Krug, this family-run house has earned a legendary reputation for its relentless pursuit of excellence.
The story is one of dedication to the art of Champagne. Johann-Joseph Krug, originally from Mainz, Germany, moved to Reims, France, to pursue his dream of creating an exceptional Champagne. He founded his own house, and since then, six generations have succeeded each other at the head of the company, each bringing their unique expertise.
The Domaine is located in Reims, in the heart of the Champagne, and its vineyards cover around 20 hectares. What sets the house apart is its commitment to creating prestigious Champagnes using artisanal winemaking methods and an uncompromising approach to quality. The vineyards are located in the region's Grands Crus, providing grapes of the highest quality for the production of their cuvées.
In contrast to many Champagne houses that focus on the consistency of one cuvée style, Krug is famous for its bold blending of different harvest years and grape varieties. Each cuvée is crafted from over 120 wines from Réserve, giving each bottle exceptional complexity and richness.

Description Krug Vintage 2006.
The extreme weather conditions of the 2006 vintage enabled all three Champagne grape varieties to reach great ripeness on all the selected plots.
The year produced elegant, well-balanced Meuniers, with notes of pear and apple. The Chardonnays were highly aromatic, and the Pinot Noirs from the Marne showed promising structure and strong potential.
After 12 years in the cellars of Krug, this Champagne developed generous aromas that gave it balance and finesse.
On the nose, we perceive very expressive aromas of yellow fruit, dry, roasted almonds, hazelnut, maple syrup, meringue and mandarin liqueur.
It seduces the palate with its generosity, depth, freshness, aromatic persistence and long finish. Notes of nougat, frangipane, viennoiserie, tarte Tatin and citrus fruit galore accompany a lovely finish of pink grapefruit peel.
The finish is exceptionally long and remarkably elegant.
This exceptional Champagne will be the ideal companion to a confit of lamb mouse or pan-fried foie gras with apples.
This is an exceptional wine for the palate.
