Krug Rosé 29th Edition was composed around the harvest of 2017 and is a blend of 29 wines from 5 different years, ranging from 2017 to 2010. This includes 11% Pinot Noir from Mutigny and Aÿ, traditionally macerated to add structure, color, and spice. The final composition consists of 53% Pinot Noir, 28% Chardonnay, and 19% Meunier, with 33% made up of reserve wines from the extensive library. After a 8-year aging process, Krug Rosé 29th Edition has developed its signature expression and elegance. As with all Krug Champagnes, this edition will continue to improve with age.
"The NV Rosé 29ème Édition is bright and effusive in the glass. Cranberry, pink grapefruit, white pepper, chalk and mint race out of the glass. In most releases, the Krug Rosé is more austere. This is an especially textured, open-knit Rosé that will drink well right out of the gate. What a delight."

"The wine opens with aromas evocative of grapefruit zest, redcurrant and apple pie, intricately mingled with a subtle trace of Sichuan pepper and a whisper of rosewood oil. On the palate, it presents as medium- to full-bodied, vinous and textural—albeit slightly less chiseled than its white counterpart. A deep core of fruit, tangy acidity and a long, perfumed finish with a delicate phenolic grip complete this new release."
