Composed around the harvest of 2006, Krug Rosé 19ème Édition is a blend of 37 wines from 5 different years, the youngest from 2006, and the oldest from 2000.
In all, reserve wines from the Maison’s extensive library made up 22% of the final blend of this Édition of Krug Rosé.
The final composition of this Édition of Krug Rosé is 59% Pinot Noir, which includes the 10% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir wines, 33% Chardonnay and 8% Meunier.
The story of Krug Rosé dates back to 1976. With Joseph’s non-conformist spirit at heart, the 5th generation of the Krug family crafted a new composition, an unexpected rosé inspired by the Maison’s reputed art of blending.
Thus, the first Édition of Krug Rosé, a singular champagne achieving an astonishing balancing act between finesse and substance, came to be. Each year, Maison Krug presents a new Édition of Krug Rosé.
A masterful blend of white base wines to bestow elegance, fruit notes and great freshness, completed with traditionally macerated Pinot Noir red wines to add structure and spice.
