    Overview

    Krug Rosé - Edition 26


    Krug Rosé: Every Year, A New Edition Of The Fifth Generation's Dream:
    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.

    The Story Of Its Creation:
    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 26ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2014, an erratic year in Champagne that oscillated between hot dry spells and cool rainy periods. 

    Vines developed under good conditions, ensuring a generous harvest. 
    The contrasting weather preserved freshness and resulted in great heterogeneity throughout the region, underscoring the importance of the House's plot-by-plot approach. 

    To craft the final creation, plots' wines of the year, which included chiselled and elegant Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, and a very special Pinot Noir from Sacy, which stood out for its brilliant redcurrant notes, were blended with selected plots' reserve wines from 6 other years, including unctuous Chardonnay wines from 2006 to impart roundness. 

    In all, reserve wines from the House's extensive library made up 33% of the final blend of this Édition of Krug Rosé. 

    Tasting Notes:
    At first sight, its subtle pale pink colour holds a promise of elegance. On the nose, aromas of rose hips, cured ham, mulberries, redcurrant, peony, pepper and pink grapefruit. 

    On the palate, delicate flavours of honey, citrus and dried fruit with a long finish, enhanced by its fine bubbles complete the experience. 

    Krug Rosé 26ème Édition In Essence: 
    Krug Rosé 26ème Édition is a blend of 28 wines from 7 different years, the youngest of which is from 2014, while the oldest dates back to 2005. 

    It was completed with 11% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir of the year blended from plots in Aÿ and Taissy, to add a unique spiciness, colour and structure. Its final composition is 44% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 26% Meunier. 

    A stay of at least seven years in Krug's cellars gives Krug Rosé 26ème Édition its unique expression and elegance. 

    Krug Rosé Is Unique: 
    Krug Rosé expresses a broad palette of plots' wines with fruit characters of all types, and spicy notes with astonishing breadth and depth. 
    A perfect tango with savoury dishes, Krug Rosé replaces a good red wine at the table with brio. 

    The Édition number corresponds to the number of times in the House of Krug the fifth generation's dream has been re-created. It also serves as a reference for collectors, to enjoy it later. 
    As with all Krug Champagnes, Krug Rosé 26ème Édition will continue to gain with the passage of time. 
    The full story of every Édition is revealed online via its Krug iD, the six digits on the back label. 

    Food & Wine Pairing Inspriation: 
    Unexpectedly, Krug Rosé 26ème Édition best accompanies very savoury dishes. 
    It can be enjoyed with fois gras, lamb, game, white meat, venison or even dishes with spices. 

    Krug Rosé is not recommended for desserts, unless they are not sweet at all.
