Krug Rosé 25ème Édition represents the continuation of a daring family legacy. Originally conceived in secret by the fifth generation of the house, Henri and Rémi Krug, who sought to challenge the conventions of traditional rosé Champagne, this cuvée is a masterclass in blending. Built around the 2013 harvest, the 25ème Édition is an artful composition of 28 reserve wines spanning five distinct years, from 2008 to 2013. The blend features Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, enriched with 11% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir from Aÿ to impart its signature pale pink hue, structure, and spicy complexity. Fermented in Krug's historic small oak casks and aged for seven years in the cellars, it delivers an incredibly expressive profile of red berries, puff pastry, and citrus, embodying the house's uncompromising pursuit of individuality.
🍾 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.
