Krug Rosé 25ème Édition

A mouthwatering rosé that wraps a racy spine of acidity in the plushly creamy, cashmere-like mousse, offering a fine frame for the rich and finely meshed range of flavors, with baked raspberry, passion fruit and Mandarin orange peel fruit accented by chopped hazelnut, fleur de sel, candied ginger and lime blossom notes that echo for days on the vivid finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Disgorged autumn 2019. Drink now through 2030.

The NV Rosé 25th Edition is surprisingly pale in tonality for a Rosé that is predominantly Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Readers will find a serious, nervy Rosé built on tension, energy and persistence. There is a ton of vibrancy driving the red berry, chalk and floral flavors. The 25th is based on the 2013 vintage, with reserve wines back to 2008. Krug ID: 419035. (Originally published in May 2021)
