✨ Technical Specifications
The creation of Krug Rosé was born from a bold vision by the fifth generation of the Krug family, Henri and Rémi, who sought to craft an unconventional, highly expressive Rosé Champagne that defied traditional expectations. The 24ème Édition is a masterclass in artful blending, designed around the remarkable 2012 harvest. To achieve its signature complexity, the House blended 22 reserve wines spanning 7 different years, with the oldest dating back to 2006. This multi-vintage masterpiece incorporates Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, elevated by the addition of a specially macerated Pinot Noir red wine from select parcels in Aÿ and Taissy to impart its delicate pale pink hue, structure, and spicy depth. Fermented in traditional small oak casks and aged for seven years in the historic cellars of Reims, it offers a symphony of wild berries, puff pastry, and subtle peppery notes, embodying the uncompromising spirit of Joseph Krug’s legacy.
🍾 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.
