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.
