A word from

The cellar master

Pinot Noir wines comprise 57% of the final blend of Krug Rosé 27^ème Édition, of which 10% are traditionally macerated red Pinot Noir from the Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ parcels. As with every Édition of Krug Rosé, this Champagne is particularly intense, distinctive and elegant.

Julie Cavil, Krug cellar master

Krug Rosé 27^ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2015, a year marked by unprecedented heat and drought that prevailed from the end of May to mid-August, slowing grape development. Fortunately, rains and reasonable temperatures in the second half of August allowed the berries to grow in optimal conditions. The harvest took place under the rain between August 31 and September 21, with great heterogeneity from plot to plot. Each year, to re-create the dream of the fifth generation of the Krug family of an unexpected, bold and elegant rosé Champagne, the House starts by identifying plots’ wines from the current and previous years that will together convey all possible types of fruit expression. This composition then embraces a traditionally macerated red Pinot Noir wine, which adds spiciness, colour and structure.

Krug Rosé 27^ème Édition is the result of complementing the selected plots’ wines of the year with reserve wines from 8 other years. Red Pinot Noir wine of the year from plots in Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ completed the creation, imparting structure, colour, and spice.

Time in cellar:

This bottle spent 7 years in Krug's cellars developing its particular expression and finesse, receiving its cork in Winter 2021-2022.

FOOD PAIRING

Unexpectedly, Krug Rosé 27ème Édition best accompanies very savoury dishes.

It can be enjoyed with foie gras, lamb, game, white meat, venison or even dishes with spices.

Krug Rosé is not recommended for desserts, unless they are not sweet at all.

TASTING NOTES

At first sight, its subtle pale pink colour holds a promise of elegance.

On the nose, aromas of rose hips, cured ham, mulberries, redcurrant, peony, pepper and pink grapefruit.

On the palate, delicate flavours of honey, citrus and dried fruit with a long finish, enhanced by its fine bubbles complete the experience.

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.

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.
