✨ Technical Specifications
The creation of Krug Rosé was born from the fifth generation's desire to craft a rosé Champagne unlike any other, one that could fearlessly accompany bold culinary creations. The 23ème Édition is built around the 2011 harvest, marrying it with a rich tapestry of reserve wines spanning 12 different years back to 2000. This blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier is elevated by the addition of a specially selected macerated Pinot Noir red wine, which imparts its delicate pink hue and structural backbone. Fermented in Krug's historic small oak casks, the wine undergoes extensive cellar aging for nearly seven years. The result is an incredibly expressive Champagne that weaves together notes of wild berries, puff pastry, and subtle spices, embodying the house's uncompromising pursuit of individuality and complexity.
🍾 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.
