✨ Technical Specifications
The creation of Krug Rosé was once a closely guarded family secret, born from the fifth generation's desire to craft a rosé Champagne unlike any other. Henri and Rémi Krug presented their first creation to their father, Paul II, in 1983, challenging the house's traditional stance. The 21ème Édition is a masterclass in blending, built around the harvest of 2008 and incorporating 57 reserve wines from six different years, dating back to 2000. This multi-vintage blend consists of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, enhanced by a specially selected skin-macerated Pinot Noir red wine that imparts its delicate pale pink hue, structural backbone, and signature spicy character. Fermented in traditional small oak casks and aged for seven years in the cellars, it delivers an extraordinary spectrum of red fruit, 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.
