ROSÉ 27th EDITION
Krug Rosé is an unexpected rosé Champagne combining elegance and audacity – inspired by the dream of the fifth generation of the Maison Krug, that of creating a rosé Champagne that did not exist, a rosé Champagne that could be recreated every year.
About this vintage
Krug Rosé 27th Edition is a blend of 38 wines from 9 different years, the youngest of which dates from 2015 and the oldest from 2005. This edition was composed around the 2015 harvest, a year marked by unprecedented heat and drought during the spring and summer, slowing down the development of the grapes. The reasonable temperatures felt at the end of August allowed the berries to grow optimally. To develop the final creation, the wines of the year were blended with reserve wines from plots selected from 8 other years. Krug Rosé expresses a wide range of wines from plots with fruity characters of all kinds, with spicy notes of astonishing breadth and depth. A stay of approximately seven years in the cellar gives this 27th Edition its unique expression and elegance. Like all Krug Champagnes, Krug Rosé 27th Edition will continue to improve over time.
