19ème édition Krug

The wine

Krug Rosé is the fruit of Krug’s vision to offer a unique interpretation of Rosé Champagne, in line with the philosophy of Krug Grande Cuvée. Each year a new edition is crafted, with this 19th one, created from the 2006 harvest, shaped by a contrasting summer of heat and storms.
The Pinot Noirs selected primarily originate from the northern slopes of the Montagne de Reims, contributing freshness and tension, while the reserve wines from the Meunier and Chardonnay varieties add complexity and structure.
This 19th edition Krug Rosé seduces with its extensive aromatic spectrum, revealing a sensual and audacious score. The striking subtle nuance of pale pink reveals an elegant, refined character. Aromas of rosehip, blackberry, redcurrant, peony, pepper and pink grapefruit rise from the glass. Delicate notes of honey, citrus and dried fruit also emerge on the palate, prolonging a long, intense finish, accentuated by delicate bubbles.
The wine’s unconventional character makes it an ideal companion for daring gastronomic pairings, giving the impression of a great red wine at the table. A perfect partner for foie gras, lamb, white meats, game or anchovies, or tasty spicy dishes.

When Johann-Joseph Krug founded Maison Krug in 1843, he dreamed of attaching his name to a unique Champagne. He set one simple rule – never cut corners. Today, six generations later, he would be proud of the stubborn perfectionism that still rules the creation and development of his Champagne. Krug is one of the few Champagne houses to only produce prestige cuvées. The worldwide reputation of this outstanding Champagne is based on a rare expertise that combines patience with excellence. The rigorous selection process begins with choosing the three varieties that will go into the complex blends created at Krug. Krug is also the only top brand to fully ferment it Champagnes in small oak barrels. It is this delicate process that creates wines with intense aromas and rich and complex tastes. Finally, as a model case in Champagne, Krug ages its wines for a minimum of 6 to 8 years. The reward for this is exceptional maturity and longevity. Krug Champagnes are one-of-a-kind, standing out above all others and at the peak of what Champagne can be.
