Krug Rosé 30ème Édition

A singular rosé champagne, an astonishing balancing act between finesse and substance.

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.

Composed around the harvest of 2018, Krug Rosé 30ème Édition is a blend of 38 wines from 5 different years, the youngest from 2018, and the oldest from 2010.

In all, reserve wines from the Maison’s extensive library made up 36% of the final blend of this Édition of Krug Rosé.

The final composition of this Édition of Krug Rosé is 57% Pinot Noir, including 10% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir wines of the final blend, 31% Chardonnay and 12% Meunier.

TASTING NOTES

A deep rosé hue with coppery highlights.

On the nose, a powerful bouquet of wild strawberries, red fruits – both fresh and jammy.

The palate reveals the freshness of blood orange and a firm structure. Explosive and expressive, yet elegant, precise and beautifully balanced.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Krug Rosé best accompanies savoury and flavourful dishes such as game or spicy recipes. It is not recommended with desserts unless they are not sweet at all.

Krug Rosé may be enjoyed with gastronomic dishes such as wild boar tenderloin or charred cauliflower tacos with romesco salsa, as well as simple pleasures like vegetable and jalapeño quiche and grilled sardine.

Note:

Serving Temperature

The House of Krug recommends that its Champagnes be served between 9°C and 12°C, as colder temperatures limit the expression of their flavours and aromas.
Note:

The Krug Rosé Glass

To design a glass that would allow Krug Rosé’s singularly elegant and nonconformist character to be fully discovered, the House of Krug joined forces, once more, with master glassmaker Riedel.
Note:

The Influence of Time

All Krug champagnes gain in complexity and patina with the passage of time. We recommend storing them at the same temperature as you intend to serve them, between 9°C and 12°C.
