The 18eme Edition of Krug Rose represents the eighteenth recreation of this legendary multi-vintage rose Champagne, designed around the base year of 2018. Conceived to challenge the traditional boundaries of rose Champagne, it is a masterclass in blending that unites Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier. The backbone of its character comes from a carefully selected portion of traditionally macerated Pinot Noir red wine, which imparts a delicate color, structural depth, and spicy complexity. Fermented in Krug's historic small oak casks and enhanced by a library of reserve wines from older vintages, this cuvee undergoes several years of patient aging on its lees. The result is an exceptionally elegant sparkling wine defined by notes of wild berries, puff pastry, and citrus peel, carrying the hallmark tension and rich texture of the House of Krug.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Krug was established in Reims in 1843 by visionary merchant Joseph Krug, who sought to craft the most generous expression of Champagne annually, regardless of climatic variations. Situated in the heart of Champagne, the maison draws fruit from premier and grand cru parcels spanning the limestone-rich terroirs of the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne, supplemented by historic walled monopoles like Clos du Mesnil and Clos d'Ambonnay. Viticulture is conducted under rigorous sustainable standards, eschewing herbicides and synthetic insecticides while adhering to Viticulture Durable en Champagne (VDC) frameworks. Krug's foundational cellar philosophy centers on plot-by-plot vinification, fermenting base wines primarily in aged 205-liter oak barrels. Under Chef de Cave Julie Cavil, hundreds of distinct still wines and an extensive library of reserve vintages are systematically evaluated. The house's signature benchmark, Krug Grande Cuvée—each release cataloged by its specific Édition—stands alongside Krug Rosé, Krug Vintage, and single-vineyard masterpieces as archetypes of profound vinous depth, racy minerality, and monumental longevity.
