Krug Rosé Brut 26th Edition Champagne 75cl
Krug Rosé Brut 26th Edition Champagne is the only prestige cuvée rosé to be blended from a rich palette of wines from three different grape varieties, and from such a wide range of vintages. The Édition number corresponds to the number of times in the House of Krug the fifth generation’s dream has been re-created. It also serves as a reference for collectors, to enjoy it later.
Krug Rosé 26ème Édition is a blend of 28 wines from 7 different years, the youngest of which is from 2014, while the oldest dates back to 2005. A stay of at least seven years in Krug’s cellars gives Krug Rosé 26ème Édition its unique expression and elegance.
Aromas of rose hips, mulberries, cured ham, peony, redcurrant, pepper, and pink grapefruit are revealed. Krug Rosé replaces a good red wine at the table.

"Based on the 2014 vintage, complemented by some 33% reserve wines from six other vintages, Krug's new NV Brut Rosé 26ème Édition is showing beautifully, offering up aromas of tart red berries and plums mingled with notions of warm biscuits, dried fruits, flowers and orange zest. Medium to full-bodied, taut and incisive, with terrific concentration, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish, it's an intensely flavored, electric wine that stands out as a particularly good recent release from this storied house." 96 Points - Wine Advocate
Grape: Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir
It was completed with 11% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir of the year blended from plots in Aÿ and Taissy, to add a unique spiciness, colour, and structure. Its final composition is 44% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 26% Meunier.
Krug Rosé 26ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2014, an erratic year in Champagne that oscillated between hot dry spells and cool rainy periods. Vines developed under good conditions, ensuring a generous harvest. The contrasting weather preserved freshness and resulted in great heterogeneity throughout the region, underscoring the importance of the House’s plot-by-plot approach.
To craft the final creation, plots’ wines of the year, which included chiseled and elegant Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs and the
Montagne de Reims, and a very special Pinot Noir from Sacy, which stood out for its brilliant redcurrant notes, were blended with selected plots’ reserve wines from 6 other years, including unctuous Chardonnay wines from 2006 to impart roundness

At first sight, its subtle pale pink colour holds a promise of elegance.
On the nose, aromas of rose hips, cured ham, mulberries, redcurrant, peony, pepper and pink grapefruit.
On the palate, delicate flavours of honey, citrus and dried fruit with a long finish, enhanced by its fine bubbles complete the experience.
