Vinous

Antonio Galloni

The NV Rosé 29ème Édition is bright and effusive in the glass. Cranberry, pink grapefruit, white pepper, chalk and mint race out of the glass. In most releases, the Krug Rosé is more austere. This is an especially textured, open-knit Rosé that will drink well right out of the gate. What a delight. Krug ID: 124021.

Wine Spectator

Alison Napjus

A beautifully balanced version, with its satiny mousse caressing the palate, while chiseled acidity defines a fine weave of macerated raspberry and peach fruit, blood orange peel, grilled nuts, white chocolate and saffron. This unfurls on the palate, offering richness and depth. Lingers on the mouthwatering finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Disgorged Winter 2023 to 2024 (Krug ID 124021). Drink now through 2035.

Game, spicy cuisine, wild boar fillet, grilled cauliflower tacos with romesco salsa, vegetable and jalapeño quiche, or grilled sardines are refined pairing options with this champagne.

The character and complexity of a rosé champagne signed Krug

The estate

Founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug in Reims, the Champagne Krug House is a pillar of excellence in champagne. With vineyards spread across several regions of Champagne, it stands out for its library of reserve wines, allowing the creation of champagnes with consistent quality. Currently led by Olivier Krug, the house remains true to the innovative spirit of its founder.

The vineyard

With more than 250 different plots including the prestigious Clos du Mesnil and Clos d’Ambonnay, Maison Krug holds an exceptional heritage of vines in Champagne.

The wine

Born from the dream of the fifth generation to create a rosé champagne that is unique and can be crafted every year, this cuvée harmoniously combines elegance and boldness. Perpetuating the family tradition of excellence, this Krug Rosé 29th Edition results from a rigorous selection of 29 wines from 5 different years. The youngest dates from 2017 and the oldest from 2010. Reserve wines make up 33% of the final blend.

The vintage

This cuvée is crafted around the 2017 harvest, a year with singular climatic conditions. The coolness gave way to favorable weather for vegetative development. The year was marked by a spring frost and significant summer rainfall, causing yield losses.

Vinification and aging

This exceptional cuvée is aged for about 7 years in the estate’s cellars.

Blend

44% pinot noir (of which 11% is red pinot noir traditionally macerated on the skins), 34% chardonnay, and 22% pinot meunier.
