The 28ème Édition of Krug Rosé is a testament to the House's non-conformist spirit, a tradition initiated by the fifth generation of the Krug family who sought to create an unexpected, highly gastronomic rosé Champagne. This edition is crafted around the harvest of 2016, a year of dramatic weather contrasts that ultimately yielded beautifully expressive fruit. It is an artful blend of 32 wines from 6 different years, spanning from 2010 to 2016, with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier represented. The backbone of its delicate pink hue and spicy structure comes from the addition of a traditionally macerated Pinot Noir red wine from the grand cru vineyards of Aÿ. Fermented in Krug's signature small oak casks and aged for seven years on the lees in the historic Reims cellars, this Champagne delivers a mesmerizing complexity of red berries, toasted brioche, and delicate floral notes.
🍾 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.
