Only 21 hectares of vineyards are owned by the house, accounting for 30% of production. The remaining vineyards, like those of other Champagne houses, are purchased from a select group of approximately 100 growers, some of whom have collaborated for generations. Therefore, in addition to the Krug team, the growers are also involved in the blending process, providing input and allowing them to gain a firsthand understanding of the high quality of their vineyards. Like Dom, Krug never discloses its actual production volume to avoid the misconception that high yields imply low quality. However, it should be noted that despite its significant production and numerous vineyards, it is able to monitor and process each one individually while maintaining quality, a level not typically achieved by other Champagne houses.

Extremely complex, showing dried apples, light caramel, brioche and flint with cedar, nuts and hints of gunmetal. Integrated, caressing bubbles. Medium-bodied with a laser-guided, compacted and extremely long palate that focuses the character and the flavors. So deep and polished. Tangy at the end.
