About this product
The world's benchmark non-vintage Champagne — assembled from 120+ wines across 10+ years, all fermented in small oak barrels. Deep gold; extraordinary complexity of toasted brioche, walnut, dried apricot, vanilla, citrus confit, and a chalk-mineral core. Each edition (identified by number rather than vintage) is its own masterwork. Infinitely long finish. The standard against which all prestige Champagne is measured.
Pairing intelligence
complement
The world's most celebrated Champagne-and-caviar pairing — Krug's oxidative depth and mineral chalk backbone bridges the caviar's brine and fat; the toasted brioche note harmonises with the blini.
classic
aperitif
complement
Krug's weight and complexity is one of the few Champagnes with sufficient depth for roasted lobster; the truffle butter's richness is matched by the wine's oak-derived texture and walnut complexity.

main
complement
The wine's hazelnut-walnut complexity and chalk mineral backbone aligns with aged Comté's crystalline depth; white truffle's earthy luxury matches Krug's own opulence.
classic
cheese
complement
Krug's richness and oxidative complexity handles foie gras with authority; the Sauternes gelée echoes the wine's dried-fruit sweetness while the Champagne acidity prevents cloying.
