By honouring each vineyard’s individuality and creating a vast reserve library, he achieved his dream \u0026amp; Krug Grande Cuvée 1st Edition was born.rrIn the 1970s, Henri and Rémi Krug modernized production, acquired Clos du Mesnil, 1st vintage 1979, launched Krug Rosé in 1983 and purchased Clos d’Ambonnay in 1991, first vintage 1995. LVMH acquired Krug in 1999; Henri and Rémi stepped down in 2007. Since 2009, Olivier Krug, the sixth generation, is Director of Krug.rrIn 2024, Krug completed Joseph, its new state-of-the-art sustainable winery in the village of Ambonnay, awarded exceptional HQE certification.The potential for a Krug vintage champagne is identified during the blending of Krug Grande Cuvée. Once the non-vintage blend has been secured and all of the reserves earmarked, the wines displaying the most pronounced character of the vintage are blended to create the vintage champagne. These bottles are original disgorgement in Summer 2013 and since that time have rested in the cellars in Krug’s cellars in Reims and shipped to us in Autumn 2020.rrWhile a Krug Vintage normally leaves the cellars after 10 years, the House keeps a limited number of these bottles, which were disgorged at the same time, under optimal conditions The house has decided to share some of these bottles of Krug Vintage, which are known as Back Vintages. rrKrug ID: 114009 | Whilst bottles of Krug 2000 Cellared at Krug until 2020 do not have a Krug ID on the back label, you can use the code on the left to discover the story of this vintage.
