Krug Rosé 19ème Édition
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.


In all, reserve wines from the Maison’s extensive library made up 22% of the final blend of this Édition of Krug Rosé.
The final composition of this Édition of Krug Rosé is 59% Pinot Noir, which includes the 10% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir wines, 33% Chardonnay and 8% Meunier.
A word from
The cellar master

Krug Rosé 19ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2006. The year's summer was one of sharp contrasts, with a heat wave punctuated by intermittent storms and even hail. These extremes incited some concern for the health of the grapes but the last days of summer were fine and bright. When harvest time arrived, the grapes expressed a good level of maturity.

FOOD PAIRINGS
Krug Rosé can also 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. Unexpectedly, it best accompanies very savoury dishes.

TASTING NOTES
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.
