Krug Champagne House

Founded in 1843, Joseph Krug had the goal of blending wines of different years to produce a rich and consistent expression of pleasure. The House has a unique and singular approach, which has given it the reputation as the Haute Couture Champagne .

The prestige Krug Grande Cuvée  is the signature champagne of the house and aged for over 20 years. Over 120 wines are blended in this Cuvee taken from 150 reserve wines from the previous 10-15 vintages and 250 wines from a single year.

Did you know that each Krug bottle has a distinctive character using the six digit number that appears on the back label. An interactive Krug application, available on mobile and tablet, allows you to scan the Krug ID and access the unique history: harvest challenges of the year revealed by Cellar Master Eric Lebel, ratings from experts, food inspiration to pair with each cuvee, as well as storage recommendations.

Reservations can only be made for exisiting Krug clients upon written proof from your wine retailer and must be a minimum of 3 months in advance. If you are lucky enough to be offered a visit at Krug please note that it will last about 2hrs

Private Cellar Visit & Tasting at Maison Krug Includes

▸ Personalized welcome at Maison Krug. 45mins ▸ Discovery of the House and Cellars 30mins ▸ Tasting "Journey into the Krug Universe" 45mins.

Your Day Tour

We will organize the day to compliment your visit to Krug should you be invited. If you like the fact the Krug vinifiies plot by plot and grape by grape or that they vinefy in the wine is oak barrels or the fact they do not make vintage champgnes, then you may like a production facility visit some medium size and artisanal growers who use the same methods to produce top quality champagnes, Billecart Salmon for example is a good example.

On the other hand you may like to try champagnes, which are produced quite differently and not vinified separately, vintage champagnes or vinified in steel vats to give a natural freshness and taste the difference. In addition to a visit where you can actually see , we will have time to stop for a triple tasting visit at some top brands like Gaston Chiquet or Vilmart & Cie.

Given your interest in the gastonomic champagne, it seem only in keeping with the days tastings of top quality to suggest a nice 1 star Michelin restaurant for lunch or a restaurant with a view over the vineyards. Everything is possible.

The Fabulous Krug Cellar Tour & Tasting in Reims, France

Krug Cellars is located in downtown Reims. If you weren’t looking for it you may stroll by it not noticing the subtle unmarked entrance.

Upon arriving to Maison Krug, we were welcomed with a glass of Krug Champagne as we sat and relaxed in this lovely lounge.

Cheers to the upcoming visit at Maison Krug and being able to sip on these beautiful wines for the next few hours! I feel like such a lucky girl being able to experience Maison Krug. Sadly this Maison is not open to the public so it’s quite a challenging visit to secure.

This is the Living Room and Dining Room at Maison Krug.

After being welcomed with a glass of wine and spending some time learning about the history of Krug we began our tour of the cellar.

Within these cellars resides the House’s vast library of reserve wines to which six generations have contributed. This collection now houses 150 wines, each expressing the personality of an individual plot.

The tank room where the Krug Champagnes are blended and stored before they’re bottled.

After our cellar tour, we proceeded to a tasting in this gorgeous tasting lounge. I felt as if I died and went to heaven. What a stunning experience!

The wall of 40 wines (shown on the right)

“Each year, Krug’s Cellar Master auditions 250 wines of the year and 150 reserve wines when creating a new Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée. While the wall of this tasting room visually depicts these 400 wines, each of which incarnates the essence of a single vineyard plot, audio speakers placed around the space play acoustic representations of 10 different regions of Champagne, to demonstrate the unique contribution of each to the final blend of Krug Grande Cuvée, the most generous expression of Champagne.”

Our tasting began with the Krug Grand Cuvee. I always enjoy tasting this stunning which has a deep golden color, fine bubbles with lovely fullness and elegant flavors.

Our tasting included the 2004 Krug vintage, the 2006 Krug Brut concluding with the Grand Cuvee 162. Each of these wines was magnificent with subtle unique tastes and flavor profiles.

It was interesting tasting the 2004 Krug vintage next to to the 2006 Krug Vintage as I found the 2004 lovely with creamy flavors and not too bright or acidity. I loved the nutty noises with caramel scents.

In comparison the 2006 Krug Brut also had the nutty profile yet it was a very hot year which made for a bigger more indulgent profile with beautiful vanilla scents on the nose.

Views of the Krug garden and patio.

Thanks to the Maison Krug team for hosting me for this informative and delicious tasting. What a spectacular once in a lifetime memory I will always treasure and appreciate.

The Krug Experience: Tasting Review and Photos

Throughout the year, we organise an array of champagne tastings based around different themes – from our comprehensive range tastings to more formal masterclasses – which typically encompass comparisons of anything from vintages, brands, size formats and styles. Of the different themes, our Krug Experiences have consistently proven one of our most popular and have consequently become a fixed feature in our annual tasting calendar.

Our most recent celebration of this most famously prestige effervescence was hosted by Essi Avellan MW at 67 Pall Mall last month. Guests were served five Krug Grande Cuv̩es, 166th to 161st Editions (base vintages 2010 to 2005); and seven Krug Vintages, 2006 to 1995. In addition, four of these champagnes were served from magnum, making it a simply unmissable evening РKrug fanatic or not.

Our thanks to Jack, Krug’s London-based Brand Manager for providing our fantastic welcome drink – the latest release of their non-vintage,  Krug Grande Cuvée 167th Edition NV .

“At Krug, we’re not about consistency but generosity. We don’t work to a rulebook or a formula and want to celebrate the differences from year to year†– Olivier K rug

Krug Grande Cuvée Grande Cuvée is not your average non-vintage. Priced at a similar level to the prestige cuvées of many other major champagne houses, it is a prestige cuvée in its own right. Like other non-vintages, Grande Cuvée consists of wine from several years: a base vintage (the youngest and majority part in the blend) and reserve wines from older vintages. Amongst the many things that make Grande Cuvée unique is that the proportion of reserve wines is unusually high (typically 30-50%) and the reserve wines are unusually old (the youngest Edition in this tasting, 166 (the 2010 base), features reserve wine from 1998).

Given the typically high percentage of reserve wines from such old vintages, Krug manage to produce a very consistent style and quality with Grande Cuvée each year. However, with 50-70% of the blend coming from one base vintage, each Edition inevitably displays subtle differences that showcase the characteristics of that year.

In late 2016, Krug began numbering each Grande Cuvée blend to promote the individuality of each creation and allow the ageing capacity and potential complexity of Grande Cuvée to be understood. Now that Grande Cuvée displays its Edition on the label, the famous non-vintage can be fully appreciated as a series of difference releases – which can now be easily compared, explored and endlessly discussed!

Krug Vintage The next step-up in quality level is vintage champagne, Again, where at most houses the vintage category champagnes situate themselves above the brut non-vintage, but below the top prestige cuvée range, at Krug the distinction is obsolete. Their vintage champagnes reveal the unique characteristics of each year; expert blends of expressive wines enhanced by more than ten years of maturity in the cellars, named to reflect their individual identities: Krug 2000 ‘Stormy Indulgence’; Krug 2002  ‘Ode to Nature’;  Krug 2003  ‘Vivacious Radiance’;  Krug 2004  ‘Luminous Freshness’; and Krug 2006  ‘Capricious Indulgence’.

The potential for a Krug vintage champagne is identified during the blending of Krug Grande Cuvée. Once the non-vintage blend has been secured and all of the reserves earmarked, the wines displaying the most pronounced character of the vintage are blended to create the vintage champagne. This tasting will highlight six vintages of Krug, including 2000 in both bottle and magnum; 2002 , one of the greatest ever; and a magnum of  1995 , newly “late released” and extraordinarily scarce.

The champagnes were tasted blind and are listed below in the order tasted on the evening. Tasting notes and scores are Nick’s from The Finest Bubble. Guests live scored each champagne using our smartphone app and the group average scores are presented in the table of ranking below our tasting notes.

Conclusion While each of the champagnes showed amazingly well (18.2/20 average score!), the magnum effect was once again the star of the show. Each of the larger formats had a fuller texture and deeper complexity, as showcased by the three vintage magnums taking the podium spots as the highest rated tipples of the evening. The conclusion: if you want to experience the best of Krug, you need to be drinking it from a magnum!

Our latest Krug Experience featured twelve champagnes, including four from magnum

Introducing Krug Champagne

• Updated February 23, 2024

Location: Rue Coquebert, Reims.

When was Krug founded? Krug was founded in ​​1843.

Who founded Krug? The Champagne House was founded by Joseph Krug. It was later sold to Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) in 1999, though is still managed today by Krug’s 6th generation, Olivier Krug.

Winemaking Designation: Négociant Manipulant 

Krug Vineyards

How many vineyards does krug have.

Maison Krug sources the grapes for their wines from over 250 different cru plots in the Champagne region, totaling around 220 acres.

Where are the vineyards?

Krug owns 30% of the vineyards where their wines are grown. One of them is Clos du Mesnil, a 4.55-acre plot in the heart of Mesnil-sur-Oger, Champagne’s most recognized Chardonnay terroir. The House also gets its Pinot Noir from the walled Clos d’Ambonnay. It is a 1.68-acre plot on the Montagne de Reims’ slopes.

These vineyards are where their two single-vineyard vintages, Blanc de Blancs and Blanc de Noirs, come from. Their Pinot Meunier grows in other vineyards in Trépail. But they source the rest of the grapes from 100 long-term contract grape growers.

Growing Practices at Krug

Are they organic or biodynamic.

When it comes to selecting the plots from which to harvest the grapes, Maison Krug puts quality control and sustainability on top of their consideration.

Their vineyards are certified as sustainable and biodynamic. They are not (yet) certified organic, however, they use chemicals only if there’s a threat to the entire crop. In fact, the House has not been using herbicides for several years now. So, they are as close to organic as they can be.

However, they don’t see themselves seeking a certification, because, if any disease threatens their vineyards, they will keep using products to save their crop. But the House continues to be open-minded and interested in new ideas.

Krug has been exploring massale selections that may help to mitigate the effects of climate change. They’re looking at pruning procedures, where they must re-educate their workforce, and how to encourage deeper rooting. The House is also experimenting with biodiversity in one of its single vineyards. 

As harvest approaches, the house is considering how they might be more careful in monitoring ripening across our plots, as getting the date right becomes increasingly crucial. They prefer not to correct the must after it’s pressed, so they have to pick whenever it’s suitable to do it.

In 2004, Krug was awarded ISO certification in environmental practices, energy management, and food safety management. It is the first LVMH Maison to earn the Positive Luxury title.

Any special growing techniques used?

One of the things that sets Krug apart from others is their two famous single-vineyard Champagnes. The Blanc de Blancs, for example, is produced from the Chardonnay they picked from the Clos du Mesnil vineyard, while the Blanc de Noirs comes from the Pinot Noir grown in the Clos d’Ambonnay vineyard.

Due to changes in climate, sun exposure, and other terroir-related factors, the House picks the fruits from each plot separately to guarantee the best quality possible. Krug puts importance on respecting each plot’s individuality. 

Winemaking at Krug

Who is the winemaker.

In early 2020, Julie Cavil became Krug Champagne’s Chef de cave. She quietly took the place of the house’s long-time winemaker, Eric Lebel. Cavil is also the first female Chef de cave at Krug. Prior to becoming the cellar master, she was an assistant Chef de cave at Krug from 2006.

What types of wine making techniques do they use?

Taking from the Founder Joseph Krug’s dark cherry notebook, the concept is simple but makes sense. Each wine is treated uniquely, having its own distinct personality. The house vinifies one grape variety from a single plot using the same oak cask.

Krug is one of the few houses that carefully tirage and ferment in small, 205-liter oak casks plot by plot, for at least 20 years. And its Grand Cuvée sets the benchmark for non-vintage Champagnes, having an extensive collection of reserves to add to the blend, which is stored in large stainless steel tanks.

Their casks are old. The reason for this is not to introduce tannins but rather to let a gradual interaction between the must and the minimal quantity of oxygen let through those casks. Such a process enables the wine’s extended, slow maturity and also adds to its famed age-ability.

The grapes harvested from each cru are vinified individually into base wines without malolactic fermentation and two gravity racks. Krug doesn’t induce malolactic fermentation in the early phase, as they believe that it extends the wine’s lifespan. During vinification, the wines should start to mature and reveal their own flavors.

These wines will then be stored separately in small vats in a large library that has roughly 150 distinct reserves, with wines from 10 to 12 unique vintages. It’s up to the Chef de cave which wines from single plots could be used to boost that year’s production and which ones will be the reserves.

In addition to the reserves, Krug produces 250 wines of the year, with a total of 400 wines for use for the final blend of a new Champagne every year. Each champagne serves as a representation of an individual plot.

Combining wines from many vintages helps the cellar master to produce an outstanding depth of flavor in their Champagnes. Upon tasting, the Chef de cave may sometimes find an exquisite and fruity wine. Other times, they will taste one that is more structured. But if they sample an overripe wine, Krug will reject it.

The introduction of the Krug iD makes it even possible to know what goes into their wines. Krug iD is a 6-digit identification code on the back label of Krug bottles. It gives drinkers access to information about the blend and the vintage’s characteristics and suggests food to go with the wine.

The Wines at Krug

Krug offers 5 different Champagne varieties. Their non-vintage varieties are made from a combination of three grapes, while their vintage ones are 100% made of either Chardonnay or Pinot Noir.

Krug Grande Cuvée – Made from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier; percentage varies per year. This wine is a blend of 150 to 200 different wines, from 10 to 15 different vintages. It’s aged for at least years and is available in 16 editions.

Krug Clos du Mesnil – Made from 100% Chardonnay. It’s aged for a minimum of 10 years on the lees and comes in 8 vintages.

Krug Clos d’Ambonnay – Made from 100% Pinot Noir. This wine is aged for 14 years on the lees and comes in 5 vintages.

Krug Brut Rosé – Skin-fermented Pinot Noir gives it a lovely blush. It’s a unique blend that comprises 4 to 6 different vintages, and three grape varieties (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier), with the complexity of the Krug style. This sparkling wine is available in 9 editions.

Krug Vintage – This bottling is a blend of wines from a single year. The blend is aged in the cellars for additional 10 years to produce its richest flavor. It is available in 10 different vintages.

Krug no longer offers private tours to the general public.

Private Tour and Tasting at The House of Krug.

 a tour of the house of krug.

Krug is one of the most prestigious houses in the champagne region in France. To be able to visit and do a private tour and tasting at The House of Krug is truly exceptional. Joseph Krug established the House of Krug in 1843 to create the very best champagne. Krug is based in Reims the main city in the champagne region in France.

AD | I have been compensated, or could be compensated, if you click on a link in this post via a cash payment, gift or something else of value for writing this post. See our full disclosure policy and privacy policy for more details.

If you get the chance to tour the House of Krug you will be extremely lucky and honoured to do so since Krug no longer actually gives private tours to the general public. However we visited the Krug cellars during our stay at  L’Assiette Champenoise where they offer speciality Krug champagne weekend packages .

A visit to the House of Krug in the heart of the Champagne region

Our visit was very special from the word go, Starting in the House where Krug began in the heart of champagne. The beautiful building with the oak barrels lining the entrance were spectacular in itself.

The Lounge of Krug

Joseph Krug wrote all of his tasting notes in a cherry red notebook passing on all of his knowledge to his son Paul. He experimented with building a reserve of wines from grapes grown in different plots to blend exceptional wines.

Joseph wrote in his book ” A good house should only create two champagnes of the same quality” , champagne no 1 to be the fullest expression of champagne every single year, and. Champagne no 2, the expression of the circumstances of a particular year captured by Krug, and created only in the years as Krug vintage.

We know this today as Krug Vintage.

The Krug Champagne

Today the house offers seven different Krug champagnes;

• Krug grande cuvée
• The Krug vintage
• Krug collection
• Two clos du mesnil .

A walled vinyard ‘the clos du mesnil’ is where the grapes are grown in a protected area closed off from external elements such as wind. It also has the perfect soil. This soil (or terroir as it is called in French) creates an exceptional flavour. With the quality Soil and growing position you can create exceptional wine such as those created at Krug.

Krug have two of these such areas and grow grapes that are used to produce two champagnes. The Krug Clos Mesnil Champagne and the Clos D’ambonnay which produces the Krug Clos D’ambonnay Champagne.

Champagne tasting at The house of Krug

We sampled three champagnes on our tasting at Krug;

• A Krug Grand Cuvée
• Krug Vintage 2003
• Krug Vintage 2000

All three champagnes were exceptional and came with their own Krug ID.

Krug Grande Cuvée is a blend of over 120 wines coming from ten or more different previous vintages. Some of the vintages used to make this champagne are up to fifteen years old in age. There are three grape varieties in the Krug Grand Cuvée they are the;

•  Pinot Meunier.

These all come from from numerous Grand Cru vineyards in the champagne region.

Krug Vintage Champagne

Krug Vintage is, according to the House;

“not the selection of the best wines of a particular year, but rather the expression of that year according to Krug”.

Therefore Krug Vintage is composed only of wines from one a single year. The Krug Vintage champagne matures in Krug’s cellars for at least ten years before it is released for sale.

On our visit we were told all about the “Krug ID “which tells the unique story of each individual bottle of champagne.

Each bottle of Krug has its own Krug ID number on the back of the bottle. Krug has divised an App where you can learn about each individual bottle of Krug. Once you put the Krug ID information in to the Krug app it will tell you the story of your individual bottle. You will be able to find out the age of the reserve wine’s used to make the champagne as well as when it was corked and the date it left the cellar.

Accompanying this information you will find tasting notes on the wine as well as information on food pairing and even music that suits the mood of your champagne.

What is in the cellars of the house of Krug?

Once we had finished our tasting, we took a tour of the house. First off was the stunning cellars where even the smell is amazing, the cool dark spaces emulates such History and an excitement much like their champagne..

Champagne is stored to mature in wooden riddling racks. These riddlers allow for just a quarter turn at a time for each bottle to allow the sediment to settle in to the neck of the bottle.

Seeing the stunning vintages locked behind gates was amazing. All sitting and waiting for that special event.

Next was a tour around the reserve wines in they’re huge aluminium vats. Here you will find the house’s library of 150 reserve wines. These wines are to be used in the blend of a future Krug Grande Cuvée and Krug Rosé.

The pristine clean rooms are a stark contrast to that of the cellars.

Krug uses small 205-litre oak casks tailor-made from trees that are more than two centuries old in the forests of Hautes Futaies in Central France. These Barrels are only used for approximately 40 years.

During the summer preceding the harvest, casks are regularly watered to humidify the wood. The oak casks were a beautiful sight to see filling up the courtyard of the House of Krug. The water leaves stunning reflections on their lids of the surrounding house.

Visiting The House of Krug  was a fantastic  opportunity to explore and taste some beautiful champagne’s from an exceptional house.

The new Krug winery in the Champagne heartland connects process and nature

AW2 Architects’ design for the Krug winery encapsulates the part rural, part urban landscape of the French winemaking region of Ambonnay

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

There are many things to love about AW2 Architects’ new Krug winery in the Champagne heartland of Ambonnay, north-east France. Its almost invisible imprint, a genuine relationship with the landscape, and that surprisingly modest name – ‘Joseph’ – are just a few. 

The label is indeed a touch humble for a big business that has been family-run since 1843; and now, with LVMH as parent owner. But it displays the spirit that runs through the entire Maison Krug operation. A refreshingly modern thinker, Joseph Krug believed that the ‘true essence of champagne is pleasure itself’, a wholly uplifting missive around which the house revolves today. Total excellence was his benchmark. And so, regardless of cost, because they produced the best, Joseph Krug was absolute in his dictate that no Krug champagne variety would be treated any differently than the other.

The layout chimes with the semi-urban, semi-rural spirit of the winemaking region

Explore the new Krug winery

This egalitarian vision steered the new site and building, which would bring Krug’s entire operation, previously scattered around the region, under one roof, ensuring at the same time that every worker would benefit from the new workspace. But how do you approach a significant build where hallowed traditions and new tech take equal billing across the seven years it takes to create a bottle of Krug champagne, in a tiny, medieval village?

The building balances its organic aesthetic with the sci-fi like technology inside

Krug’s new home spans 9,500 sq m, with five underground wineries, eight cellars and 0.68 hectares of vineyards. The team, led by Krug cellar master Julie Cavil, in collaboration with AW2, engineers GNAT, and the project managers, who specialise in winemaking operations, spent two years developing Joseph. All understood that its success depended on an open dialogue with all those in the Ambonnay vicinity. 

‘Ambonnay is a small village, with 900 inhabitants, and we cannot impose ourselves. We would not do that. We are respectful to them and the industry that surrounds us,’ Cavil explains.

Krug's Joseph winery in the Champagne region of Ambonnay forms an 'H' shape from above

As such, the winery is formed as a pair of matching, long buildings, with copper-coloured roofs in keeping with the overall character and cable styles that define the village. Considering the project's ambition, the winery is barely visible within the landscape. Everyone involved signed up to the 'Low Environmental Impact Worksite' charter committing to low-carbon materials, reuse and recycling methods, local sourcing and low-impact site construction.

The cellars at Joseph are designed to offer inspiring views

Krug was desperate to modernise: ‘We wanted to create perfect storage conditions because we have suffered in the historic sites from not having good regulation for gravity and core temperature,’ Cavil says. ‘For years, we managed well, and it wasn't a problem, but summer temperatures have been rising, which influences fermentation, so we knew we could not operate as we had been.’

The eight specific cellars in Joseph allow for varied regulations from the beginning of the harvest, so they are not just reliant on one solution.’ The new build also sparked change around the day-to-day workings and a creative rethink about how the whole business, from people to production, might benefit.

A full cellar at Krug's Joseph winery

The winery was designed down rather than up, and GNAT scooped out a sizeable chunk of the earth to create the lower floor. So, while the upper levels house the cellars, the tanks are situated at the bottom. Joining these is the middle ‘bridge’, at a height just shy of the cellar roofs, which houses offices, tasting rooms, and all other communal areas, so that from above, the building forms a tidy H-shaped construction.

Creating a new winery from scratch allows for new technologies, such as a new barrel shifting system that requires no human lifting (left), and state-of-the-art machinery

Concrete was chosen as a key construction material because, as Cavil points out, ‘It lasts forever. It may not score so high as a sustainable choice during construction but in the long-term, it’s a good choice because of its low energy consumption. Concrete is airless.’ It is also very good for the wine, from storing to consumption, as it’s easy to maintain a steady temperature. Cavil also appreciates the organic nature of concrete’s slightly rough finish. ‘It reflects the fact that Joseph is a working site,’ she says.

A meeting room, with far reaching views of the vineyard

Practical considerations apart, winemaking is a business that ultimately hangs on the capricious antics of nature. To that end, Krug’s Joseph winery is designed so that you can see the vineyards from every vantage. ‘The vines give us inspiration,’ explains Cavil. ‘Watching the weather is in our DNA, and so here, everyone gets a peek at the process, to be connected to it. We can run in and out and feel the winds whenever we like,’ she says, smiling.

Did Matt Damon Just Pick Up This Impossibly Swanky L.A. Condo for $8.5M?

Matt Damon appears to have found a pied-a-terre in West Hollywood, CA .

The actor has reportedly shelled out $8,550,000 for a two-bedroom, 2.5-bath apartment in a condo building designed by the firm Olson Kundig .

The star of “The Martian” has been busy dealing in the earthly world of real estate, reportedly buying a mansion with a pool, treehouse, and a pond on more than 13 acres in Bedford, NY , in July 2022 for $8.5 million. And he’s said to own a Brooklyn, NY , triplex, which he reportedly picked up in 2018 for $16,745,000.

Damon previously departed a lavish Los Angeles estate, which he sold for just under $18 million in 2021.

But this Los Angeles-area stunner will be a handy place for him to drop his bags and rest up when he’s filming in Hollywood.

(Realtor.com)

Imagine sliding open the glass walls of your home and instantly doubling your living space while relishing the gorgeous views? That’s exactly what’s on offer in this luxurious abode that the Olson Kundig design team has called a “love letter to Los Angeles.”

The terrace alone is 1,600 square feet and billed as the biggest and best in the condominium. This outdoor space flows seamlessly to the living and dining rooms as well as the kitchen, which is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances from Sub-Zero, Miele, and Gaggenau.

The main bedroom offers walk-in closets and a beautiful bathroom with an egg-shaped soaking tub. The second bedroom can function as a sleep space, home office, yoga studio, or small library. The building boasts LEED certification, meaning it meets certain efficiency and sustainable metrics.

As with many superposh condos, this building features lots of high-end amenities, including 24-concierge and valet parking, an on-site gym, a pool and spa, plus a newly opened restaurant called Stella right downstairs.

Damon’s body of work is vast and varied, ranging from “Good Will Hunting” and “The Talented Mr. Ripley” to “Ocean’s Eleven” and the beloved “Bourne” franchise.

Last year, Damon starred in “Oppenheimer,” which earned more than $950 million—one of the biggest-grossing biopics of all time.
