Behind every precious drop of Krug is the dream of a visionary. A man who, long before others, understood that the essence of Champagne is pleasure. More than 170 years ago, Joseph Krug broke with existing conventions and followed his own vision. He wanted to make the most refined constant Champagne. Every year, regardless of climatic unpredictability. This daring experiment by Joseph turned out to be a victory over himself and he succeeded in making Champagne as never before done. To this day, the House of Krug breathes its enduring philosophy: Creating only prestige champagnes since 1843. It is the only house that has exclusively created Ultra-Premium Champagnes every year since 1843. An ideal gift. Makes parties and special occasions even more special. The 2008 has a drinking window until 2045+ The 2011 Krug Vintage has only been on the market since the end of 2024 and is a blend of 46% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay and 17% Meunier. The Krug Vintage 2011 was egorged in the summer of 2022 and has a dosage: 4.5 g/l. Every Krug Vintage is an ode to the special character of the most expressive wines from one year, which is even stronger after more than 10 years in the cellars. This is very structured and full of power in tight framing. Lots of minerality (shell and stone) and even a hint of iodine with an aftertaste that lasts for minutes. Turns to toffee and salted caramel over time in the glass. This is one for the basement. In the pursuit of more transparency, Krug has had its own app developed and they provide more information than most other houses about their champagne. By scanning the Krug ID on the back of the champagne with your smartphone (or entering it manually on the house's website), you will find all kinds of facts about the champagne you are holding in your hands. This way you can find out, among other things, the date of the disgorgement and how many wines the champagne is composed of.
