✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug in Reims, the House of Krug is one of the most revered and uncompromising prestige Champagne producers in the world. Driven by its founder's pioneering philosophy to craft the absolute fullest expression of Champagne each year regardless of climatic variations, the house treats each vineyard plot as an individual element in its masterful blending process. Krug vinifies its base wines in traditional small oak barrels and relies on an extensive library of reserve wines spanning more than a dozen distinct vintages. The resulting portfolio is legendary for its richness, complexity, and extraordinary aging potential, highlighted by the flagship Krug Grande Cuvée, prestigious vintage bottlings, and rare single-vineyard masterpieces such as Clos du Mesnil and Clos d'Ambonnay.
