Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Rosé by Krug is a structured wine, crafted using the Traditional Method. The result of a blend that combines Chardonnay with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, it integrates white base wines with a portion of Pinot Noir vinified as a red wine using traditional maceration. With a deep salmon hue and coppery highlights, it releases aromas of wild strawberry, cherry and toasted notes on the nose. On the palate, it reveals great dynamism: hints of pastry and dried plum merge with the freshness of blood orange, finishing on a citrusy finish of pink grapefruit.
Where it comes from
Originating from the Champagne region, this wine reflects the philosophy of Maison Krug, founded in Reims in 1843. The work in the vineyard respects the identity of each plot, enhancing the unique characteristics of the terroir. To ensure expressive consistency that transcends the climatic variations of different vintages, the Maison draws on an extensive library of reserve wines. This meticulous approach to blending creates a profile in which finesse and substance coexist in perfect balance, ensuring longevity and an ageing potential that can exceed twenty-five years.
How it is produced
This Brut stands out for its bold structure, making it suitable to replace a red wine throughout a meal. Served at 6-8 °C, it shows a marked gastronomic aptitude, ideal for accompanying flavourful dishes and game, such as wild boar loin or spiced dishes. Its dry profile and delicate bitter note also make it perfect for savoury treats, from vegetable quiches to cauliflower tacos, while pairing with desserts is not recommended.
History and Curiosities
Founded in Reims in 1843, Maison Krug enhances every single plot and its precious reserve wines. Born in 1976 from the family's nonconformist spirit, this exclusive Champagne Rosé Brut elevates the art of blending to the highest level. The superb 29th Edition continues the mission of offering a generous and consistent expression, overcoming the climatic uncertainties of individual vintages. Praised by international critics, this refined traditional method offers a perfect balance between the elegance of white wines and the deep structure of Pinot Noir.
