When Joseph Krug founded his Champagne House in 1843, he was driven by the belief that the true essence of Champagne was pleasure. He aimed to create the finest Champagne each year, regardless of climate variations. He pushed the boundaries of Champagne-making, establishing a House where every bottle would meet the same high standard of excellence. Julie Cavil, Krug's first female Cellar Master, began her career in advertising as an account director in Paris, where she met her husband. Their shared love for wine inspired her to pursue a new path in the Champagne industry. In 2002, she moved to the region to study oenology, despite being older than most students and already a mother. She graduated in 2006, and Krug welcomed her with open arms, recognizing her passion and talent.
