This Krug rosé is exceptionally rare, a masterpiece crafted from various vintages aged for a very long time in the Krug cellars. The blend itself has been aged for a full five years in the cellars to achieve its true perfection. Well, it certainly succeeded, as it's one of the finest Rosé Champagnes in the world!
The dream of Champagne House Krug
Krug was founded in 1843 in Reims by Joseph Krug. Understanding that the true essence of champagne lies in pleasure itself, his dream was to produce the very best champagne he could offer every year, regardless of annual climatic fluctuations. By paying close attention to the character of the vineyard, respecting the individuality of each plot and its wine, and building an extensive library of reserve wines from many different years, Joseph Krug was able to fulfill his dream. With a highly original approach to champagne making, he decided to go beyond the concept of vintage to create the most generous expression of champagne every year. Thus, he established a house where all champagnes are of the same caliber. Six generations of the Krug family have perpetuated this dream, enriching the founder's vision and expertise.
Krug Rosé was inspired by the fifth-generation Krug family's dream to create a rosé champagne unlike any other, one that could be recreated annually. Each edition of Krug Rosé perpetuates this legacy. Krug Rosé is surprising, as it takes the place of a fine red wine at the table with brio. This champagne is a delicate blend of vintage wines from select plots of the house's vast reserve library, complemented by traditionally macerated Pinot Noir to add structure and spice. A seven-year aging period in the Krug cellars gives Krug Rosé its refined elegance and character.
A tasteful Rose Champagne from Krug
The Krug Rosé is a pale pink with golden reflections. The aroma is exquisite, a true gem. Beautiful nuances of rosehip, mulberry, peony, pepper, pink grapefruit, and a touch of cured ham. A fun fact: if you download the Krug app, you can scan the unique code on the back of the label to discover which wines and vintages were used in each bottle. The palate is delicate, with delicious notes of red fruit, citrus peel, nuts, and roasted toast. This Krug Rosé is truly a beauty. At Krug, the must is fermented into wine in small oak barrels—unique in Champagne. This gives the wines unique depth and complexity. Moreover, only wines from a dozen of the finest Crus are used in the blend.
