Margareth Henriquez: Guy Savoy if you ask them, what you are, they will tell you we’re simply pleasure. And this is exactly what Krug is about. It’s about pleasure, it’s about elegancy, its about simplicity. So we are a unique experience. Olivier Krug: We don’t have vintage on deliver because we have several vintage in the bottle, and the secret of Krug is that Krug is a blend of several vintages in order to maintain the consistency from year to year. We are extremely small because we produce two bottles — in champagne and we know that the people who wants those champagne those champagne go in very selected place easily. It’s very special. Victoria Arbiter Brown: So how did Krug start? Olivier Krug: It only started in 1843 when my young sister Johann-Joseph Krug decided to make champagne with a different taste. Victoria Arbiter Brown: Did you always have a passion for champagne? Olivier Krug: I had a real passion for Krug when were living next door, so we we’re living with the sound of the bottle. We were living with this smell of the benefaction and obviously, that was completely part of my life. So I’m glad to offer you a glass of our dear Grande Cuvee, which is the most famous Krug here, which is the ship of the house because it is a blend of several vintages. And this champagne has a taste dimension that no possession can have. Victoria Arbiter Brown: Salud. To a novice, I am a champagne novice. How would you describe this other than delicious? Olivier Krug: I see at first you taste like a revelation, it feels your nose as an explosion of flavor, its very complex, very spicy, very unique. Victoria Arbiter Brown: Very unique. I know that training sessions is very important for you. Why does it matter so much that people be so educated by Krug? Olivier Kru: I feel that it is very important that the people working in one of the only five Krug room in the world know as much as possible about Krug and that they can answer all the questions and there will be question that Kristine must been ask. Victoria Arbiter Brown: And how many different Krugs are there now? Olivier Krug: We have five little main different Krugs and they’re all on the list of the Krug Room and besides those five different Krugs there are some rarities which has the old treasures of — in France and the whiskies are Krug Room will have also treasures in the list. Victoria Arbiter Brown: Oh my goodness, so they’d come really come here and have something they could have almost no whirls in the world. Oliver Krug: That is something excellent that makes the Krug Room very special. As an interesting family tradition since we always put few drops on the baby’s lips a few minutes after he or she is born. And therefore I don’t remember that day and I’m already one of the only person in the world who doesn’t remember the first time I had Krug.
