FEATURES
🏰 Krug Rosé is an unexpected and daring rosé Champagne, combining distinction and boldness. It is unique as the only prestige cuvée rosé blended from a rich palette of wines from three different grape varieties (51% Pinot Noir, 41% Chardonnay, and 8% Meunier for the 21ème Édition) and a wide range of vintages, with the youngest dating back to 2008 and the oldest to 2000 for the 21ème Édition. The addition of 10% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir red wine from Ay contributes to its enchanting color, length, and spiciness. Each new Édition of Krug Rosé is created annually and rests for at least seven years in Krug's cellars, developing its particular expression and elegance. The full story of every bottle is revealed via its Krug iD.
This Champagne presents a subtle pale pink color. On the nose, expect aromas of rose hips, cured ham, mulberries, redcurrant, peony, pepper, and pink grapefruit. Floral accents and notes of dried or stewed fruit are also present. On the palate, delicate flavors of honey, citrus, and dried fruit unfold with a long finish, enhanced by its fine bubbles. Harmonies of puff pastry and red-berry tart develop towards honey and citrus fruits. It expresses a broad palette of elegant notes and reveals astonishing breadth and depth. Some tasters note a creamy plushness with hints of toasted nut, caffè crema, baked currant, and apricot fruit flavors, all balanced by well-honed acidity.
🍴 Krug Rosé is a wonderful partner at the table, pairing with dishes such as foie gras, lamb, game, white meat, venison, anchovies, or dishes with spices. It can brilliantly replace a great red wine at the table. It's not recommended for overly sweet desserts, but excels with very savory dishes. Other excellent pairings include rich fish dishes, duck, seafood, poultry, sushi, and sashimi. For dessert, consider chocolate truffles, crème brûlée, or Tarte Tatin.
🥂 With its unparalleled complexity and versatility, Krug Rosé is ideal for celebratory occasions, elegant dinners, or as a sophisticated aperitif. Its ability to pair with a wide range of savory dishes makes it suitable for a multi-course gourmet meal, and it makes a luxurious gift for Champagne connoisseurs.
