✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Krug Rosé 25ème Édition represents the continuation of a daring family legacy. Originally conceived in secret by the fifth generation of the house, Henri and Rémi Krug, who sought to challenge the conventions of traditional rosé Champagne, this cuvée is a masterclass in blending. Built around the 2013 harvest, the 25ème Édition is an artful composition of 28 reserve wines spanning five distinct years, from 2008 to 2013. The blend features Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, enriched with 11% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir from Aÿ to impart its signature pale pink hue, structure, and spicy complexity. Fermented in Krug's historic small oak casks and aged for seven years in the cellars, it delivers an incredibly expressive profile of red berries, puff pastry, and citrus, embodying the house's uncompromising pursuit of individuality.
🍾 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.
