Apart of Grande Cuvée, Krug is also making Vintage Champagne, Clos du Mesnil which is blanc de blancs Champagne and it comes from the single vineyards, also Clos d'Ambonnay that grapes comes from a single plot. The last two wines are non-vintage Rosé and Krug collection, which comes from the library stock of Krug, the current release is 1990 vintage.

In terms of food paring, Krug is an fantastic aperitif and goes really well with seafood such as oysters or prawns. Also with oriental cuisine like Vietnamese or Moroccan along with deserts such Tart Tatin or carrot cake.
