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.
