Krug Rosé, a relatively recent addition to the House, is an unexpected rosé Champagne combining distinction and boldness – inspired by the dream of the fifth generation of the House of Krug to conceive a rosé Champagne that did not yet exist. Their vision was that every year a new Édition of Krug Rosé could be created.
In the 1970s, Rémi and Henri Krug, the fifth generation of the Krug family, succeeded their father at the head of the House. As they travelled to meet with Krug Lovers all over the world, they regularly faced the question “Why does Krug not create a rosé Champagne? If Krug were to create a rosé Champagne, it would be something quite different.”
This sowed the seed of an idea that came to fruition one warm summer’s day during the harvest of 1976, when Henri and his brother finally decided to create a rosé Champagne.
“Our rosé Champagne had to be very elegant and distinguished – very Krug. What was important above all were the choices regarding the nose and palate – the colour would come as a consequence of these.” Rémi recalls.
After a number of meticulous tasting sessions, the first Krug Rosé blend was decided upon and was presented to the world six years later, in 1983.

Krug Rosé expresses a broad palette of elegant fruit and spicy notes with astonishing breadth and depth. Dancing a perfect tango with savoury dishes of all kinds, Krug Rosé replaces a good red wine at the table with brio.
A stay of around seven years in Krug’s cellars gives Krug Rosé its unique expression and elegance.
Krug Rosé 27ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2015, a year marked by unprecedented heat and drought. This Édition is a blend of 38 wines from 9 different years, the youngest of which is from 2015, while the oldest dates back to 2005.
