KRUG - Vintage 2011
Krug is a Champagne house founded by Joseph Krug in 1843, originally from the Moselle region of Germany. The house has been in the Krug family for 6 generations and is now known as one of the most collectible and expensive Champagnes. Joseph Krug worked with Jacquesson when he moved to France and began by making a premium wine from a reserve of separately vinified wines that would eventually become the Grande Cuvée. Krug is a blend of 120 different wines from 10 or more vintages from the "Librairie Krug." Each year, the cellar master leads a tasting committee that decides on the final blend. Krug Vintage is only produced in the best years.
