Terroirs
Clos du Mesnil is an enclosed vineyard of 1.84 hectares located in Mesnil-sur-Oger, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. Planted exclusively with Chardonnay, it rests on a typical chalky soil that guarantees great freshness and tension. Protected by walls since 1698, this terroir benefits from a unique microclimate, enabling Krug to reveal the purest, most precise expression of the grape variety.
About this house
The House was founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, a non-conformist visionary with an uncompromising philosophy. His dream was to create the best Champagne possible every year, regardless of annual climatic variations. Joseph Krug achieved his dream by paying particular attention to the character of the vineyard, respecting the individuality of each plot and its wine, and building up a vast library of reserve wines from different years. With his traditional approach to Champagne making, he decided to go beyond the very notion of vintage to create, each year, the most generous expression of Champagne. He thus founded a House where all Champagnes would be of equal distinction. Since then, six generations of the Krug family have pursued this dream, enriching the vision and know-how of the House's founder.
