This allowed a slow and constant ripening of the grapes, culminating in a harvest that took place on September 18, 20 and 21.

Joseph Krug understood that pleasure is the very essence of Champagne. His dream was to be able to offer the best Champagne in the world, year after year, regardless of the weather.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe special attention paid to the uniqueness of each vineyard, the respect for the particularities of each plot and its wine, and the creation of a vast library of reserve wines from various vintages have allowed Joseph Krug to realize his dream.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWith a decidedly original approach to Champagne production, he decided to transcend the notion of Vintage to create the most generous expression of Champagne each year. He thus founded a House in which all Champagnes have the same level of distinction. Six generations of the Krug family have perpetuated this dream, enriching the founder\u0026#39;s vision and savoir-faire.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u0026quot;The most devoted Krug Lovers have only one advantage over me: they can recall and describe in great detail the first time they tasted a Krug Champagne...
