The house is renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship, including the practice of fermenting wines in small oak casks and an extensive library of reserve wines. Krug’s philosophy centers on creating Champagnes that embody the fullest expression of pleasure, regardless of vintage variations. Now part of the LVMH group, Krug continues to uphold its legacy of producing exceptional Champagnes that are both complex and harmonious. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 23ème Édition of Krug Rosé was crafted under the guidance of Cellar Master Eric Lebel, with Olivier Krug representing the sixth generation of the Krug family. Their collaborative approach ensures that each edition reflects the house’s commitment to quality and individuality. The blending process involves a selection of wines from multiple vintages, including reserve wines, to achieve the desired complexity and depth that characterize Krug Rosé. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eKrug sources grapes from a diverse array of vineyards across the Champagne region, focusing on plots that offer distinctive characteristics. The 23ème Édition comprises a blend of wines from 60 different plots, with the youngest base wine from the 2011 harvest. The inclusion of 10% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir from Aÿ adds structure and color. The varied terroirs and microclimates contribute to the Champagne’s complexity and balance. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eEach plot’s wine is fermented separately in small oak casks, a practice that allows for precise expression of terroir. The final blend includes 60 wines from multiple years, with reserve wines adding depth and consistency. After blending, the Champagne undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle and is aged on lees for approximately seven years in Krug’s cellars. This extended aging period enhances the wine’s complexity and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe Krug Rosé 23ème Édition presents a delicate pale pink hue.
