Krug Rosé 27ème Édition

The elegance and gourmet quality of an exceptional rosé champagne

The estate

The Krug Champagne House was founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, a visionary with a passion. It holds a unique library of over 150 reserve wines, some of which are over 15 years old.

The vineyard

With more than 250 different plots, including the prestigious Clos du Mesnil and Clos d'Ambonnay, the House of Krug has a heritage of exceptional vineyards in Champagne.

The wine

What was the dream of the estate’s fifth generation - to create a new rosé champagne that could be made every year - this cuvée harmoniously combines elegance and boldness. Continuing the family tradition of excellence, this Krug Rosé 27th Edition is the result of a meticulous selection of 38 wines from 9 different years, with the youngest dating from 2015 and the oldest from 2005. The reserve wines, selected from 8 different years, make up 55% of the final blend. The result of seven years of ageing in the silence and darkness of the House cellars provides a subtle alliance between elegance and aromatic richness.
