Can you tell we are thrilled to be at KRUG?

Magnums of KRUG

Tanks where up to 22 wines will come together to make KRUG magic.

Library where different years are kept for future blending and tasting.

Next to the bottles are beautiful quotes written about the champagne.

Round two of tasting.  KRUG was generous enough to share 6 different bottles with us.  In this room there is a place to taste and take notes in comfort while you are surrounded by historical artifacts of KRUG Champagne.
