✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
🍾 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.
