Joseph Krug founded Krug Champagne in 1843. Before founding Krug Joseph spent 8 years working for Jacquesson Champagne, and it was during this time he set about understanding wine process, taste, quality and probably most importantly listening to wine merchants and consumers about what they did and didn’t like. With this knowledge and passion Joseph created a Champagne brand around prestige and quality. Krug was a multi-generational business where knowledge, know how and tradition were handed down to the following generation, however in 1999 the Krug family sold a majority stake to the LVMH business. The Krug family still have a member on the board, and whilst they don’t have the day to day involvement they are still actively involved in major strategic decisions.
Krug quality and prestige (and higher pricing) comes from the prolonged ageing period of both the 1st
fermented wines and after the 2nd fermentation when bottles spend between 5 to 10 years ageing and developing in the Krug cellars.
Krug gifts can be created with the picture personalised option where we take your image and print it directly onto the bottle. Champagne personalised with a full colour printed image, immense detailed up to a million pixels per inch. There is a limit on size of bottles with this process but we can still offer picture personalised Krug Grand Cuvee, picture personalised Krug Rose and picture personalised Krug Vintage.
All Krug champagnes are available on next day delivery, why not complete your purchase by adding a wooden gift box, all of which are available via the accessories section
