The Krug Les Cr ations Assortment Case is a highly curated, limited-edition release designed to showcase the dual nature of the House of Krug's winemaking philosophy. It pairs a bottle of Krug Vintage with a bottle of Krug Grande Cuv e created around the same base year harvest. This unique presentation allows connoisseurs to experience how a single year's climate and grapes are interpreted in two distinct ways: as a singular, historic snapshot (the Vintage) and as the ultimate, multi-vintage symphony of generosity (the Grande Cuv e). Both Champagnes are crafted using Krug's traditional methods, including primary fermentation in small oak casks and extensive cellar aging, resulting in wines of breathtaking complexity, tension, and depth.
🍾 wine.about_producer
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.
