History and anecdotes
Founded in 1843, Krug belongs to the LVMH Group. The sixth generation of the Krug family is currently perpetuating the founder’s vision, Joseph Krug, which consists in making the most generous Champagne expression each year aside from annual climatic variations. In order to do this, he worked towards the development of the idea of each plot individuality and established a large library of reserve wine from different years.
