Rosé 28ème Edition Brut Krug

The wine

Crafted from a meticulous blend of 58% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, and 17% Pinot Meunier, this cuvée expresses the richness of the Champagne terroir with its chalky, clay-limestone soils, offering striking mineral tension and unmatched freshness. The winemaking process is precise and meticulous. Around 10% of the Pinot Noir grapes undergo traditional skin maceration, lending the wine its elegant pink hue, beautiful texture, and subtle spicy nuances. The cuvée is aged in the Krug cellars for close to seven years.
In the glass, the delicate pink hue shimmers with coppery glints. On the nose, subtle aromas of red fruits, delicate spice, and dried floral notes unfold, while the palate reveals a silky texture with flavours of redcurrant, strawberry, grapefruit, and a persistent, finish that is elegant and vibrant.

When Johann-Joseph Krug founded Maison Krug in 1843, he dreamed of attaching his name to a unique Champagne. He set one simple rule – never cut corners. Today, six generations later, he would be proud of the stubborn perfectionism that still rules the creation and development of his Champagne. Krug is one of the few Champagne houses to only produce prestige cuvées. The worldwide reputation of this outstanding Champagne is based on a rare expertise that combines patience with excellence. The rigorous selection process begins with choosing the three varieties that will go into the complex blends created at Krug. Krug is also the only top brand to fully ferment its Champagnes in small oak barrels. It is this delicate process that creates wines with intense aromas and rich and complex tastes. Finally, as a model case in Champagne, Krug ages its wines for a minimum of 6 to 8 years. The reward for this is exceptional maturity and longevity.
