A word from

The cellar master

Krug Rosé 29^ème Édition combines the generous fruit flavours of 2017 with the elegance of reserve wines from four past years, completed with traditionally macerated Pinot Noir red wines from two plots and years: Les Crayons in Mutigny in 2017 and Côte Valnon in Aÿ in 2016.

Julie Cavil, Krug cellar master

The Year 2017:

The year 2017 started cold until clement weather awakened the vines prematurely. The region suffered spring frosts, and significant fruit loss. Subsequent warm weather in May and June enabled flowering to take place in ideal conditions. Later, however, summer downpours increased disease pressure resulting in an estimated 20% fruit loss. Dry and hot weather saved the remaining grapes for harvest, which took place from 25 August to 15 September.

Time in cellar:

This bottle spent 7 years in Krug's cellars developing its particular expression and finesse, receiving its cork in Winter 2023-2024.

Part 1

TASTING NOTES

At first sight, a deep salmon hue with coppery highlights.

On the nose, aromas of red fruit salad, raspberries, strawberries, juicy cherries and toasty notes.

On the palate, fruit combines with pastry notes of raspberry charlotte and ladyfingers. Flavours move from the sumptuous, jammy notes of dried plums to the fresh, elegant citrus fruits such as blood orange.

A finish with elegant bitters of pink grapefruit.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Krug Rosé can replace a good red wine at the table and best accompanies savoury, 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 recipes such as a wild boar tenderloin or charred cauliflower tacos with romesco salsa, as well as simple pleasures like grilled sardines and vegetable and jalapeño quiche.

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.

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.
