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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in Reims in 1843 by Joseph Krug, the House of Krug has established itself as one of Champagne's most legendary and uncompromising names. Operating from its historic cellars at 5 Rue Coquebert, the house is celebrated for its traditional production methods, notably fermenting all its base wines in small oak casks and maintaining an unparalleled library of reserve wines to achieve extraordinary complexity. This meticulous approach yields deeply structured, age-worthy sparkling wines, ranging from the iconic multi-vintage Grande Cuvée to rare, single-vineyard masterpieces like Clos d'Ambonnay, a highly coveted Blanc de Noirs sourced from a tiny walled plot in the heart of Ambonnay.
