✨ Technical Specifications
The House of Krug broke traditional boundaries in 1983 when they introduced their first Rosé, a non-conformist cuvée inspired by the fifth generation's desire to craft an unexpected, highly expressive rosé Champagne. The 20ème Édition is a masterclass in blending, composed of 59 individual wines spanning five different vintages, with the youngest from 2011 and the oldest dating back to 2002. This multi-vintage masterpiece is built on a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, elevated by the addition of a specially selected, skin-macerated Pinot Noir red wine from Aÿ to impart its signature pale pink hue, structure, and spicy complexity. Following Krug's uncompromising philosophy, all base wines are fermented in small oak casks, and the final blend undergoes at least seven years of aging on the lees in the house's historic cellars, resulting in an incredibly refined Champagne with notes of wild berries, puff pastry, and subtle spice.
🍾 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.
