Each of the three movements represents one of the house's 2008 vintages.
Krug first connected with Sakamoto in 2019. Over 18 months, he tasted the house’s prized champers and communicated with Krug’s cellar master Julie Cavil. The composer’s team even visited Reims to record the sounds of Krug, from the vineyard to the cellars. In the end, Sakamoto created “Suite for Krug in 2008,” a symphony in three parts inspired by three of the house’s 2008 vintages: the Krug Clos du Mesnil 2008, the Krug 2008 and the Krug Grande Cuvée 164th Edition.
“I was on a quest for harmony from multiple sounds, instrumental and electronic,” Sakamoto said in a statement. “Everyone finds something in Krug Grande Cuvée 164th Edition that strikes them in a personal way—each experience is unique. My third movement is the same, each listener will take away something different.”Krug has long been a proponent of music pairings as a way to enhance its Champagnes.
The latest in the series, Sakamoto’s symphony is wondrous, perfect for throwing on whether you’re drinking Krug or just relaxing at home.

Closing Arguments Set for R. Kelly Trial on Fixing ChargesClosing arguments are scheduled Monday for R. Kelly and two co-defendants in the R&B singer’s trial on federal charges of trial-fixing, child pornography and enticing minors for sex. Jury deliberations will follow. The defense rested late Friday. Kelly and his ex-business manager Derrell McDavid are charged with fixing Kelly’s 2008 state child pornography trial — at which Kelly was acquitted — by threatening witnesses and concealing video evidence. Both also face child pornography charges. A third co-defendant, Kelly associate Milton Brown, is accused of receiving child pornography. The 55-year-old Kelly already was sentenced to 30 years in prison in June after a separate federal trial in New York.
