Krug Rose Edition 21 750mL

Krug Rosé Edition 21 is Krug's prestige multi-vintage rosé, composed around the 2008 harvest — the first release of Krug Rosé to carry an Édition number.

From the Producer

Krug was founded in Reims in 1843 by Joseph Krug. Krug Rosé was first created in 1976 by Henri and Rémi Krug — a rosé that combines Krug's classic multi-vintage white blend with traditionally macerated Pinot Noir red wine from Krug's own parcels in Aÿ. Each Krug Rosé is aged on the lees for at least six years, often closer to ten, giving the wine its signature texture. Krug Rosé 21ème Édition was composed around the 2008 base vintage and is a blend of 57 wines from six different years — the youngest from 2008 and the oldest from 2002 — with reserve wines making up 46% of the final blend. The composition is 51% Pinot Noir (which includes 10% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir red wine), 41% Chardonnay and 8% Meunier. Krug Rosé 21 was the first release of Krug Rosé to display an Édition number, after the House began numbering its Grande Cuvée in 2016.
