Champagne Krug, Wine company in Reims, France
Champagne Krug is a winery located on Rue Coquebert in Reims that produces handcrafted sparkling wines. The production uses barrel fermentation and extended aging to achieve the quality the house is known for.
The company was founded in 1843 after its founder worked at Champagne Jacquesson, where he developed expertise in wine blending. He brought this knowledge to establish new quality standards.
The house carries its founder's name and remains family-owned today, operating in the heart of Reims. Each bottle features an identification system that lets buyers understand the story behind their specific wine.
Visitors should expect longer production timelines, as each bottle requires years to reach its full quality. This extended craftsmanship explains the premium pricing of the wines.
The company directly controls about one-third of its grape supply through its own vineyards, including the renowned Clos du Mesnil plot for Chardonnay. This self-sufficiency allows greater control over growing conditions and harvest timing.
