✨ Technical Specifications
The creation of Krug Rosé was inspired by the fifth generation of the Krug family, who sought to craft a rosé Champagne that did not yet exist—one that could be recreated every year with unparalleled character and complexity. The 27ème Édition is a masterful blend of 38 wines from 9 different years, with the youngest from the 2015 harvest and the oldest dating back to 2005. This multi-vintage cuvée combines Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, and is completed with a meticulously selected traditionally macerated Pinot Noir red wine from the grand cru plots of Aÿ and Taissy to impart its delicate pink hue, structure, and spicy depth. Fermented in traditional small oak casks and aged for seven years in the historic Reims cellars, this Champagne delivers an exquisite harmony of wild berries, puff pastry, and subtle floral notes.
🍾 About the Producer
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.
