Maison Krug has created a unique space for culinary experiences exclusively for the Voyage Samaritaine restaurant, located on the top floor of the La Samaritaine Paris – the historic LVMH owned luxury department store. Hidden in the kitchens of the restaurant, Krug Studio is a private dining room fitted out like a music studio. Here, up to seven guests can enjoy exceptional experience that combines music and gastronomy and connects all the tasting senses around Krug vintages.
The experience kicks off with an intimate musical tasting, presenting the history and unique savoir-faire behind the Krug champagnes selected for the occasion. Each cuvée is paired with different melodies, enhanced by the acoustics created by Devialet.
The tasting is followed by an extraordinary lunch or dinner in a discreet room overlooking the kitchens of two-star chef and Meilleur Ouvrier de France Mathieu Viannay, along with Voyage Executive Chef Jimmy Elisabeth and Associate Chef Antony Dorland.
Each trimester, the chef and his team create subtle culinary offerings that pair perfectly with Krug Grande Cuvée 169ème Edition or Les Créations de 2006 (Krug 2006 and Krug Grande Cuvée 162ème Edition), each a distinctive celebration of the great 2006 vintage.
Krug Cellar Master Julie Cavil has worked closely with IRCAM, the French Institute for Acoustic and Musical Research, to pair champagnes with melodies and the tasting menu. The Krug Studio experience’s aim is to discover and better understand how hearing, smell and taste interact. Each champagne can be perceived as a musical allegory to be savored thanks to exclusive menus with four or six compositions.
