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 champagnes 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.

The Krug Rosé 21st Edition reflects the desire of the Krug Champagne House to present its vision of Rosé Champagne to the widest possible audience. This exceptional creation is steeped in the same philosophy as Krug Grande Cuvée, transcending beyond a mere vintage. Bold and astonishing, this Champagne offers a rich and unusual aromatic spectrum for a rosé.
Each year, a new Edition is produced, like the 21st, born of the 2008 harvest.
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes prove expressive and bold, despite adverse weather conditions, with the hail damage suffered by the Meuniers compensated by a vast reserve of vintages.
Pinot Noirs from Ambonnay, Mareuil-sur-Ay and Ay provide body and expressiveness, while a red wine from Ay imparts the Champagne’s bewitching colour, length and spicy notes. The elegant bouquet of this 21st edition Krug Rosé is a sensual and daring expression, ideal for gastronomic experiences, combining grace, depth and generosity. With notes of orchard blossom, ginger and kumquat, and a balance of acidity and aromatic complexity, this Champagne reveals flavours of peach, blood orange, toasted coconut and Marcona almonds, culminating in a racy, lingering finish.
