With a history that dates back to 1843, the mighty Champagne House Krug has seen generations come and go. This family-owned estate creates world-class, stunning Champagne with the consistency of an early morning sunrise. Their dedication to the art of winemaking is incredible, and their knowledge and expertise could rival Dionysus himself. Their wines are as delicious as they come and possess enough artistic and historical value to almost warrant an exhibit in a museum. If you can get a bottle or two for yourself, you may run into a unique problem – it’s very hard to convince yourself to actually uncork a wine of this quality, although we’re sure you can find an excuse here or there. No one who encounters a Krug Champagne leaves indifferent, as we’re sure your friends will find out one day.
