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.

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.
