✨ Technical Specifications
The creation of Krug Rosé was inspired by the fifth generation of the Krug family, who sought to craft an unconventional, deeply expressive rosé Champagne that could be re-created every year. The 22ème Édition is built around the harvest of 2010, artfully blending 22 reserve wines from 5 different years, with the oldest dating back to 2005. This prestigious cuvée combines Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, featuring a specially selected, traditionally macerated Pinot Noir red wine that imparts its signature pale pink hue, spicy complexity, and structural depth. Fermented in traditional small oak casks and aged for seven years in Krug's cool chalk cellars, this Champagne represents a masterclass in blending, delivering an elegant symphony of wild berries, puff pastry, and subtle exotic spices.
🍾 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.
