JOSEPH, SHOWCASING

WINEMAKING EXCELLENCE

After seven years in the making, the Joseph winery was

inaugurated in 2024 at Krug’s Clos d’Ambonnay. Designed

with sustainability as the guiding principle throughout,

the state-of-the art facility brings all of Krug’s winemaking

and production activities together at a single location,

setting the stage for the Maison to craft the most

generous expression of champagne year after year.

Designed by and for Krug, the Joseph winery reflects

the Maison’s sustainable vision, aimed at passing on

expertise to future generations. Years of planning went

into the facility’s design, which features innovative tech-

nology to optimize working conditions while upholding

traditional winemaking methods and providing the very

best conditions not only for the creation of the Maison’s

champagnes, but for the environment as well.

Joseph has obtained France’s HQE green building

certification, with an “Exceptional” rating for its reduced

carbon footprint, optimized energy and water consump-

tion, initiatives to reuse and recycle waste, and limited

environmental impact. The certification, while not a goal

in itself, is testament to Krug’s innate desire to give

back to the land and pursue winemaking sustainably.

The two matching wings of the Joseph winery were

designed to minimize their visual impact, with a stream-

lined, contemporary aesthetic and organic lines ech-

oing the surrounding village and terroir. Transposed

harmoniously against the original landscape, the site

reflects both the Maison’s rich heritage and its pow-

erful contemporary energy.
