Krug Rosé 29ème Édition centres on the 2017 harvest and includes wines from earlier years. Red Pinot Noir wine is part of its blend.
About This Champagne
Krug specifies 29 wines from five years, with reserves accounting for 33%. The final mix is 53% Pinot Noir, including 11% red wine, 28% Chardonnay and 19% Meunier. These figures identify the 29ème Édition, not every Krug Rosé.

Pour between 9°C and 12°C, allowing room in the glass for the fruit. Roast duck with an orange glaze plays to the wine’s citrus and savoury sides.

About the Maison
The first Krug Rosé was made in 1976 by members of the fifth generation of the family. The white-wine assemblage is supplemented with traditionally macerated Pinot Noir red wines for spice and structure. Reserve wines are selected from the cellar library, so successive numbered editions can differ substantially even as the approach remains consistent.
