The 29ème Édition of Krug Rosé represents the 29th recreation of this legendary, gastronomy-focused Champagne. Born from the fifth generation of the Krug family—specifically Henri and Rémi Krug, who secretly experimented to create a dry, structured rosé that defied the sweet, simple styles of the 1980s—this cuvée is a masterclass in blending. Built around the 2017 harvest and enriched by reserve wines spanning nearly a decade, it features a classic Champagne blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier. The signature complexity and delicate pink hue are achieved by incorporating a specially macerated Pinot Noir red wine, sourced from prestigious plots like Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Fermented in traditional small oak casks, it offers an incredibly expressive bouquet of wild berries, puff pastry, and subtle spices, underpinned by Krug's hallmark tension and mineral depth.
🍾 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.
