About This Champagne
Krug Rosé 24ème Édition is composed around the 2012 harvest and blends 22 wines from seven years. Half the blend is reserve wine, and a portion of red Pinot Noir gives it colour, grip and spice.
The 2012 wines were round and elegant with pastry notes, and it was a strong year for reds.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Rose hip, redcurrant, peony, cracked pepper and a hint of cured ham.
- Palate: Silky and dry, with honey, citrus and dried fruit over a vinous, structured core.
- Finish: Long, with fine bubbles and a clean, gently spiced close.
Serving & Food
Serve at 11 to 12°C in a wide tulip or Burgundy-style glass so the red fruit and spice show. Try it with roast pigeon, lamb rack or char siu.
Good to Know
Where does the colour come from? Macerated Pinot Noir from a special plot in Aÿ.
What food suits it? Game and roast meats.
