Parker about Champagne Rosé Brut 29ème Édition
Krug’s NV Rosé 29ème Édition blends 29 wines from five harvests dating back to 2010, and like the Grande Cuvée, each component is selected by Krug’s tasting committee through blind tastings. Anchored by the 2017 vintage, which comprises 67% of the assemblage, it gains its color, texture and character from the addition of 11% still red wine from Aÿ-Champagne and Mutigny, sourced from the 2016 and 2017 vintages. 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.
Suckling over Champagne Rosé Brut 29ème Édition
Lovely pink color. This is really classy and refined. Quite subtle aromas of peaches, pears and cantaloupe with lavender and heather follow through to a medium body. The tight, focused palate has ultrafine texture and a very long finish. Almost never-ending. Fine bubbles integrate beautifully. Drink or hold.

Champagne Rosé Brut 29ème Édition
Krug Rosé Brut 29ème Édition is a richly layered interpretation of Maison Krug’s rosé style, uniting Krug’s signature depth with remarkable freshness and precision. Anchored in the 2017 harvest and complemented by reserve wines from multiple prior vintages, the cuvée owes its distinctive rosé hue to a small proportion of traditionally macerated Pinot Noir, while Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier together build its complex architectural frame. Following around seven years of maturation on the lees, the cuvée develops extraordinary aromatic depth and a pinpoint mousse.
On the nose, the Champagne reveals intense aromas of raspberries, strawberries, and cherries, accompanied by blood orange, candied citrus fruit, rose petals, and delicate spices. On the palate, it is at once powerful and silky, offering ripe red fruit, fine pastry notes, and vibrant citrus freshness. As it unfolds in the glass, nuances of dried plum, almond, and subtle toast emerge before the long finish culminates in a refined, pleasantly zesty grapefruit note. A quintessentially gastronomic rosé that showcases its extraordinary complexity not only as an aperitif, but above all alongside haute cuisine.
