The harvest of 2014 was generous and afforded us high quality fruit, which comprises 67% of the final blend. For the 26th Édition of Krug Rosé, we selected Chardonnays of the year from plots in the Côte de Blancs and the Montagne de Reims Sud for their citrus notes, chiselled structure and elegance, as well as a very special Pinot Noir from Sacy, which stood out for its brilliant redcurrant notes. This year, we also explored new avenues for the red Pinot Noir, choosing a blend of wines from plots in Aÿ and Taissy to achieve a unique spice expression. The composition was completed with reserve wines from 6 other years, including the unctuous and round Chardonnays of 2006.

The broad palette of elegant notes in Krug Rosé 26ème Édition is born from a selection of 28 wines from 7 different years, the youngest from 2014, and the oldest from 2005. It was completed with 11% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir of the year blended from plots in Aÿ and Taissy, to add a unique spiciness, colour and structure. A stay of around seven years in Krug’s cellars gives
Krug Rosé 26ème Édition its unique expression and elegance.
