Krug Rose 25 eme Edition (1x75cl)

Krug Rosé is an unexpected rosé Champagne combining elegance and boldness – inspired by the dream of the fifth generation of the House of Krug to conceive a rosé Champagne that did not exist, a rosé Champagne that could be re-created every year. KRUG ROSÉ 25ÈME ÉDITION IN ESSENCE: ▪ Krug Rosé 25ème Édition is a blend of 28 wines from 5 different years, the youngest of which is from 2013, while the oldest dates back to 2008. ▪ Its final composition is 45% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 25% Meunier. ▪ It was completed with 11% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir of the year from La Côte Valnon, a special plot in Aÿ, to add vivacity; spiciness, colour and structure. ▪ A stay of around seven years in Krug’s cellars gives Krug Rosé 25ème Édition its unique expression and elegance. THE STORY OF ITS CREATION: ▪Krug Rosé 25ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2013. The season began with a seemingly endless winter followed by a rainy and cool spring. Luckily, summer was hot and sunny, although also marked by hailstorms, which took their toll in the vineyards. The wines of 2013 were complete, expressive and full of flavours. ▪ To craft the final creation, wines of the year, which include vibrant and chiselled Chardonnays from plots in the Côte des Blancs, the Sézannais and the Montagne de Reims, and structured Meuniers from plots in Sainte Gemme, were blended with selected plots’ reserve wines from 4 other years. Unctuous reserve wines from plots in the year 2008 add roundness, while Pinot Noir wines from plots in Ambonnay and Bouzy across different years impart fruit intensity and Meuniers of 2012 add structure. ▪ In all, reserve wines from the House’s extensive library made up 50% of the final blend of this Édition of Krug Rosé.
