Krug Rosé 28ème Édition

A majestic rosé Champagne of impeccable balance, with remarkable depth and focus to its flavors of raspberry purée, kirsch and grilled nuts, plus hints of saffron, blood orange peel and ground coffee. The finely detailed mousse glides across the palate, enmeshed with chiseled acidity. The vibrant frame carries the profile on the long, long finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Disgorged winter 2022 to 2023 (Krug ID 123009). Drink now through 2034.

The NV Krug Rosé 28ème Édition is terrific. A rich, substantial Champagne, the Rosé possesses notable textural depth and substance. Hints of orange peel, cinnamon, dried rose petals and sweet red cherry fruit are all laced together in a creamy, beautifully resonant Champagne. Some previous editions have been more linear, but the 28ème feels richer, with a greater role given to the Pinot Noir, with important contributions from base wines from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Les Riceys. Time in the glass brings out gorgeous focus to pull it all together. Readers will find an extremely versatile Rosé that will provide immense pleasure, both on its own or at the dinner table. This release is based on 2016, with 38% reserve wines back to 2010, 58% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 17% Meunier. Disgorged: Winter 2022-2023. Krug ID: 123009.

Magnificent Krug Rosé 28th Edition, also based on 2016, which is just beginning to reveal its great complexity, with notes of small berries, cherry stone, a coating, delicate, creamy, gentle mousse, and a finish of very great persistence.

Krug's rosé Champagne was launched in 1983. This latest iteration is as dense, rich and opulent as ever. From its perfumed aroma to its ripe, full and generous red fruits and mature, tangy flavor, the wine is in perfect balance. Drink now.
