Why is Krug Champagne so expensive?
Krug is one of the most prestigious Champagne houses in the world. Every bottle is crafted with exceptional care, using a vast selection of reserve wines, long ageing (over 6 years for Grande Cuvee), and only the finest grapes. Their commitment to only producing prestige cuvees with complex, layered flavour profiles justifies the higher price.
What is Krug Grande Cuvee?
Krug Grande Cuvee is the house’s flagship multi-vintage Champagne. It is a blend of over 120 wines from 10+ different vintages, some more than 15 years old. This unique composition creates incredible depth, richness, and consistency from year to year, something no other Champagne house matches in this way.
Is Krug always vintage?
No, Krug Grande Cuvee is a multi-vintage Champagne. However, Krug also produces vintage Champagnes in exceptional years, such as Krug Vintage, Clos du Mesnil, and Clos d’Ambonnay. Each vintage release highlights the unique character of a single harvest.
Is Krug better than Dom Perignon?
Both are iconic prestige Champagnes, but they offer different experiences. Krug is known for its bold, toasty, nutty complexity and use of extensive reserve wines in its multi-vintage cuvee. Dom Perignon, in contrast, is always vintage and leans more toward finesse and freshness. Which is “better” depends on your personal taste.
How long can you age Krug Champagne?
Krug Champagnes are built for ageing. Even Krug Grande Cuvee can improve for 10–20 years in proper cellaring conditions, gaining depth, creaminess, and tertiary flavours like dried fruits, toasted almonds, and honey.
