Krug 25eme Edition Rose Champagne

While Krug's Rose Edition wines are non-vintage, Krug prefers to call them multi-vintage given they use a large proportion of reserve wines in the blend. This 25eme Edition Rose is a blend of 28 wines from 5 vintages back to 2008, with the base wine hailing from the 2013 vintage. The base wine comprises 50% of the blend, while 50% of reserve wines are used from 4 older vintages stretching back to 2008.

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.

An intense clarity of fresh red berries from the start, which builds anticipation on the magnificent and magnifying nose. On the palate there’s counter-balancing mature buttery fruit crumble and a savoury note here, delicious and grown-up – the result of a high contribution of 50% reserve wines in the blend perhaps? There’s a smidgen of grippy texture at the end like drinking a light red wine and it does not detract. Less strikingly obvious and glamorous than the 26th edition. This will keep well and develop. Main harvest: 2013. 50% reserves. Aged for five and a half years on lees. 11% red wine used in the blend. Disgorged: Late 2019. Drink 2022 - 2035.
