✨ Technical Specifications
The 26ème Édition of Krug Rosé is an exquisite manifestation of the House's philosophy, designed to challenge the traditional boundaries of rosé Champagne. Conceived around the harvest of 2014, this multi-vintage blend marries 28 different wines spanning 7 distinct years, with the oldest reserve dating back to 2005. The final composition features 44% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 26% Meunier. Crucial to its identity is the integration of an 11% traditionally macerated red Pinot Noir sourced from the prestigious grand cru plots of Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, which imparts a delicate pink hue, structure, and spicy complexity. Fermented in Krug's signature small oak casks and aged for seven years on the lees, this Champagne represents a bold, gastronomic style of rosé that honors Joseph Krug's vision of uncompromising individuality.
🍾 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.
