Krug Rosé 28th Edition is a unique, unexpected and refined cuvée that illustrates the House of Krug's mastery of blending. Presented in its elegant signature box, this edition combines the intensity of Pinot Noir with the elegance of Chardonnay and the roundness of Meunier to offer a rosé champagne with a bold personality and remarkable depth.
An exceptional blend
Composed of 32 wines from six different years, the youngest from the 2016 harvest and the oldest from 2010, Krug Rosé 28th Edition is the result of a complex and harmonious blend. This champagne is aged for nearly seven years in the cellars to reach perfect maturity and reveal its full aromatic potential.
Its composition: 58% Pinot Noir (including 10% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir from the Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ plots), 25% Chardonnay and 17% Meunier. This subtle blend gives the wine structure, freshness and texture.
The base vintage: 2016
The 2016 harvest, the base year for this edition, was marked by extreme weather conditions. A rainy and difficult spring gave way to a more favorable period, punctuated by intense heat at the end of the cycle. This contrasting climate allowed us to produce wines that are both rich and lively, forming the backbone of this 28th edition.
