Hailing from the historic wine village of Gumpoldskirchen in Austria's Thermenregion within Niederösterreich, Weingut Krug has been crafting exceptional wines since 1746. While sharing a name with the famous Champagne house, this family-run Austrian estate is celebrated in its own right for mastering the unique terroir of the region. The Chardonnay Grande Reserve is a testament to this dedication, sourced from select limestone-rich vineyards that enjoy a warm, pannonian climate. Fermented and matured in French oak barriques, the wine beautifully marries a rich, buttery texture and ripe stone fruit notes with the vibrant, mineral-driven acidity typical of Niederösterreich's finest white wines.

Founded in Reims in 1843 by Joseph Krug, the House of Krug has established itself as one of Champagne's most legendary and uncompromising names. Operating from its historic cellars at 5 Rue Coquebert, the house is celebrated for its traditional production methods, notably fermenting all its base wines in small oak casks and maintaining an unparalleled library of reserve wines to achieve extraordinary complexity. This meticulous approach yields deeply structured, age-worthy sparkling wines, ranging from the iconic multi-vintage Grande Cuvée to rare, single-vineyard masterpieces like Clos d'Ambonnay, a highly coveted Blanc de Noirs sourced from a tiny walled plot in the heart of Ambonnay.
