✨ Technical Specifications
Krug Rosé was born out of a daring vision by the fifth generation of the Krug family, Henri and Rémi, who secretly experimented in the late 1970s to create a rosé Champagne that met the house's uncompromising standards of complexity and structure, defying their father's belief that rosé was a mere trend. Unveiled in 1983, this prestige cuvée is a broad, multi-vintage blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. Its distinctive character and pale pink-gold hue come from the addition of a specially selected, skin-macerated still Pinot Noir wine, primarily from the grand cru vineyards of Aÿ or Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Fermented in traditional small oak casks and aged for at least seven years in the cellars, it delivers an unexpected harmony of wild berries, puff pastry, and exotic spices.
🍾 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.
