Krug Rosé 27^ème Édition is a blend of 38 wines from 9 different years, the youngest of which is from 2015, while the oldest dates back to 2005. It was completed with 10% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir of the year blended from plots in Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, to add a unique spiciness, colour and structure. A stay of around seven years in Krug’s cellars gives Krug Rosé 27^ème Édition its unique expression and elegance.

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. It is the 27^thtime this dream has been re-created.

In all, reserve wines from the House’s extensive library made up 55% of the final blend of this Édition of Krug Rosé.

The final composition of this Édition of Krug Rosé is 57% Pinot Noir, 23% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier.
