Krug Rosé 28ème Édition is a truly unique champagne that brings together delicacy, structure, and depth in an elegant and sophisticated tasting experience. Based on the 2016 harvest, this edition blends 32 wines from six different years, including 38% reserve wines and a touch of traditionally macerated red Pinot Noir, which contributes richness in both color and character.
The final composition features 58% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, and 17% Meunier, resulting in a soft pink hue and an impressively complex profile. On the nose, it reveals aromas of rosehip, redcurrant, mulberry, peony, and pink grapefruit, while the palate offers gentle notes of honey, citrus, and dried fruit, all carried by a silky texture and a long, elegant finish.
Krug is one of the most prestigious and revered Champagne houses, renowned for its unwavering commitment to excellence and the artistry of champagne-making. Founded in 1843 by Johann Joseph Krug, this family-run house has always adhered to a philosophy of uncompromising quality, emphasizing the individuality of each vintage and terroir.
Krug stands apart with its unique approach—each bottle of champagne is crafted from meticulously selected wines from different years and vineyards, creating unparalleled depth, complexity, and richness. Their most iconic champagne, Krug Grande Cuvée, embodies this philosophy, blending up to 200 wines from over 10 different vintages to achieve perfect harmony and sophistication in every edition.
Additionally, Krug is renowned for its exclusive vintage champagnes, Krug Rosé, and rare single-vineyard expressions like Clos du Mesnil and Clos d'Ambonnay, which originate from exceptional, limited-production plots. Each bottle undergoes an extended aging process in Krug’s cellars, allowing the champagnes to develop profound aromas, refined textures, and remarkable elegance.
