Krug Champagne – The World's Most Iconic Prestige Champagne

At LBV, you will find an exclusive selection of Krug Champagne. From the legendary Krug Grande Cuvée to rare vintage editions and some of the world's most sought-after prestige Champagnes.

Krug produces only a very small portion of total Champagne production and is known for its uncompromising focus on quality, complexity, and aging potential. Each bottle represents decades of craftsmanship and a unique interpretation of the Champagne region's best terroirs.

The Story of Krug

Maison Krug was founded in Reims in 1843 by Joseph Krug. His ambition was revolutionary for his time: to create the best possible Champagne every single year, regardless of what the weather had been like in the vineyards. This philosophy remains the foundation of the house to this day. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Today, Krug is part of the LVMH group, but continues to work according to the same principles of patience, precision, and uncompromising quality. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Krug Grande Cuvée

Krug Grande Cuvée is the house's signature wine and is considered by many to be the world's most complex non-vintage Champagne. Each edition is created by blending a large number of wines from different vintages to achieve the perfect balance between freshness, depth, and complexity. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

The result is a Champagne with notes of citrus, toasted nuts, brioche, honey, dried fruit, and a seemingly endless finish.

Krug Rosé

Krug Rosé is among the world's most sought-after rosé Champagnes. It combines the house's characteristic depth and complexity with elegant notes of red berries, flowers, and spices.

The rosé is crafted for gastronomy and works excellently with seafood, fish, Asian cuisine, and light meats. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Krug Vintage

Where the Grande Cuvée is about the house style, Krug Vintage is about the story of a single year. Each vintage is produced only when Krug determines that the vintage has its own unique personality and deserves to be immortalized as an independent Champagne. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

The vintage editions are known for their enormous aging potential and often develop beautifully over several decades.

Clos du Mesnil and Clos d’Ambonnay

For many collectors, Clos du Mesnil and Clos d’Ambonnay represent the absolute pinnacle of Champagne.

These wines are crafted from small, walled single vineyards and produced only in extremely limited quantities. They are among the world's most exclusive and sought-after Champagnes. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Krug and Gastronomy

Krug is known as one of the world's most gastronomic Champagnes. The house's wines have a depth and structure that make them suitable for much more than an aperitif.

For example, try the Krug Grande Cuvée with lobster, scallops, truffle dishes, mature cheeses, or light poultry.
