Krug (Champagne)

Producer description of "Krug" Wine offers for "Krug (Champagne)" in find+buy

Johann-Joseph Krug (1800-1866), a German born in Mainz, worked as a manager for Adolphe Jacquesson in his champagne house from 1834 and married his sister-in-law in 1841 (there is no relation to the Californian winegrowing pioneer Charles Krug). Together with the wine merchant Hippolyte de Vivès, the company Krug et Cie. was founded in Reims in 1843. Initially, the company traded in Champagne and wines from the Champagne region. Champagne production began in 1845. After Jean-Joseph's death, the company was divided between his widow, Hyppolite de Vivès, and his son Paul Krug (1842-1910).

Company management

Shortly after de Vivès retired, Paul Krug took over the management. Under his leadership, the company developed into an important champagne house. From 1898 to 1910, he was also president of the Syndicat du commerce des vins de Champagne. As one of ten children, his son Joseph Krug (1843-1910) succeeded him in 1910. Under Paul Krug II (1912-1995) and his cousin Jean Seydoux, the leading position of the house was consolidated and the estate expanded through the purchase of first-class vineyards.
