ABOUT THE HOUSE OF KRUG
The House of Krug was founded in Reims in 1843, by Joseph Krug, a visionary non-conformist with an uncompromising philosophy. Having understood that the true essence of this region creations is pleasure itself, his dream was to offer the very best every single year, regardless of climate annual variations. Paying close attention to the vineyard's character, respecting the individuality of each plot allowed Joseph Krug to fulfill his dream. With a very original approach, he decided to go beyond the notion of vintage to create the fullest expression of this region every year. Thus, he founded a House in which all creations are of the same level of distinction, each illustrating a particular expression of nature.
Six generations of the Krug family have perpetuated this dream, enriching the founder's vision and savoir-faire."
