Krug
Part of the LVMH group and retaining its status as a bastion of style and tradition.
Krug is able to offer five Prestige Cuvées that are all different, all being of equal, undisputed quality and distinction. Each Cuvée conveys a particular interpretation of how champagne can be created.
Krug Grande Cuvée
Krug Grande Cuvée is a crafted champagne a blend of around 120 wines from ten or more different vintages, some of which may reach 15 years of age. Blending so many vintages gives Krug Grande Cuvée its unique fullness of flavours and aromas. It’s an incredibly generous wine and is absolute elegance – something impossible to express with the wines of just a single year I feel. *** OUTSTANDING***.
Krug Rosé N.V.
Krug Rosé is unexpected, both sensual and daring. It shows a broad and extensive aromatic palate,highly unusual for a Rosé Champagne. There’s puff pastry and red-berry tart which develops towards honey and citrus fruits, dried or stewed fruits.
Krug Vintage
Every Krug Vintage is crafted to be different, to reveal the expression of a particular year. The wines often spend over ten years in the cellars before release. Krug Vintage is the story of a year as seen by Krug.
Krug Clos du Mesnil
Krug Clos du Mesnil
OK, so that’s how good this stuff can be... lots of vintages available but it depends upon your budget, a very rare Champagne, showcases the unique character of a single plot of Chardonnay, harvested in a single year.
Krug Clos d’Ambonnay
Krug Clos d’Ambonnay celebrates with the rarest of Champagnes the unique character of a particular Pinot Noir grape that of a small, walled, 0.68-hectare plot from the heart of Ambonnay, one of the most distinguished villages for this grape variety in Champagne.
Lots of vintages are available on request.

Never fails to leave me speechless, in fact the 1996 may very well be the greatest Clos du Mesnil period. Smoke, bright uit, crushed rocks and smoke inform the kaleidoscopic, breathtaking nish.”
