Krug Rosé 25ème Édition is composed around the 2013 harvest and, in the house’s own framing, balances finesse and substance in a singular rosé Champagne.
From the Producer
Krug was founded in Reims in 1843 by Joseph Krug, who broke with the convention of his day by insisting every Krug wine - vintage or not - should be built from a reserve library of individually vinified plot wines held back over many years. Every parcel is still fermented separately in small oak casks, and the house keeps several hundred reserve wines going back more than a decade. The Rose was added in 1983 and is built the same way, with a portion of Pinot Noir macerated on skins to give colour and structure rather than blended in as finished red wine. The 25eme Edition is composed around the 2013 harvest: 45% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 25% Meunier, including 11% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Rose hips, cured ham, mulberries, redcurrant, peony, pepper and pink grapefruit.
- Palate: Honey, citrus and dried fruit carried by fine bubbles and a vinous rosé-Champagne core.
- Finish: Long, fresh and elegant, with savoury complexity lingering behind the fruit.
Best For
