Krug Rosé 27ème Édition

96+/100 PP

"The NV Rosé 27ème Edition, much like the Grande Cuvée 171ème Edition, was created based on the 2015 vintage and is complemented with 38 reserve wines sourced from nine different years (which makes up 55% of the blend). The youngest reserve wine dates back to 2015, while the oldest goes all the way back to 2005. Additionally, the blend includes 10% Pinot Noir, sourced from Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. This delightful rosé boasts a stunning, fresh bouquet of peony, blueberry, grapefruit, blood orange, warm biscuits and spring flowers. It has a medium to full-bodied texture and is both tense and crystalline, with a delicate yet concentrated structure and a salty, lingering and mouthwatering finish. I find the mid-palate particularly fascinating, as it is both fleshy and delicate. This lively and pure Champagne rosé from Krug is made up of 57% Pinot Noir, 23% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier."

"Mit einer breiten Palette eleganter fruchtiger und würziger Noten ist die 26ème Édition von Krug ein besonderer Rosé-Champagner mit erstaunlicher Breite und Tiefe. Die Assemblage dieser Cuvée überzeugt mit einem würzigen, strukturierten Pinot Noir aus Clos d’Ambonnay und Reserveweinen aus sechs weiteren Jahren für Frische und Reife. Komponiert wurde sie um die Ernte des Jahres 2015 herum."
