Maison Krug unveils Every Note Counts, a dialogue between taste and sound

Maison Krug, established in Reims in 1843, is proud to unveil Every Note Counts, a unique encounter between Krug Cellar Master Julie Cavil, and pianist-composer Max Richter.
The latest chapter in Krug’s musical journey, Every Note Counts is a dialogue driven by a shared pursuit of precision and experimentation.
Inspired by the exceptional 2008 harvest, Julie Cavil composed three distinctive cuvées –-each encapsulating the Maison’s renowned savoir-faire. Moved by the sensations and emotions these three champagnes convey, Max Richter responded in his own language and composed three original pieces in dialogue with the trio of champagnes named Krug from Soloist to Orchestra in 2008 (Act 2).
Krug Clos d’Ambonnay 2008 becomes Clarity — a soloist piece capturing the radical purity of a single plot, a single grape, and a single year.
Krug 2008 becomes Ensemble — a chamber composition evoking the ideal circumstances of the year 2008.
Krug Grande Cuvée 164ème Édition becomes Sinfonia — the most generous expression of Champagne, assembled from 127 wines across 11 different years.
Together, these three movements form a recomposition of the year 2008 — not as a moment frozen in time, but as one that resonates across senses.
With Every Note Counts, Krug reaffirms its belief that, whether in champagne or music, the generosity of the most beautiful creations springs from careful precision, purpose and care.
