Krug Rosé is a unique champagne with a long-standing tradition of blending multiple vintages. Unlike other rosé cuvées, Krug Rosé NV is made from all three grape varieties and a wide range of vintages. The finest Pinot Noir grapes from Aÿ are specially fermented with their skins to extract color and texture, and then blended with the rest of the wine and bottled in the spring. Krug Rosé ages for 6 to 10 years on the lees, resulting in a fuller texture and distinct color and spice notes.
Krug Rosé 28th Edition was composed around the harvest of 2016 and is a blend of 32 wines from 6 different years, ranging from 2016 to 2010. This includes 10% Pinot Noir from Aÿ and Mareuil sur Aÿ, traditionally macerated to add structure, color, and spice. The final composition consists of 58% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, and 17% Meunier, with 38% made up of reserve wines from the extensive library. After a 7-year aging process, Krug Rosé 28th Edition has developed its signature expression and elegance. As with all Krug Champagnes, this edition will continue to improve with age.
"Beautiful peach-pink color with a copper hue and a lot of floral nuances on the nose, offering dried cherries, peach skin and spices. It shows intensity and power, yet with elegance and precision. Full-bodied with a fine texture and phenolic tension. Bright and already delicious with some zesty, dried orange peel character at the end."
