The palate is powerful yet impeccably balanced, with an ultra-fine mousse carrying flavours of orchard fruit, candied lemon, toasted almond, and pastry cream over a vibrant mineral backbone. Exceptional depth, freshness, and precision culminate in a remarkably long, elegant finish.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Winery, Production \u0026amp; Critical Reputation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eKrug\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e is one of Champagne's most prestigious and collectible houses, founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug with the philosophy of producing the finest Champagne possible every year regardless of vintage conditions.
