Krug Brut Rose 28eme Edition

Krug Rosé 28th Edition is a Champagne full of vivacity, amplitude and boldness with a liberated element of the unexpected. The broad palette of elegant notes in this Édition is born from a selection of 32 wines from 6 different years, the youngest from 2016, and the oldest from 2010. 

At first sight, its subtle pale pink color 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 flavors of honey, citrus and dried fruit with a long finish, enhanced by its fine bubbles complete the experience.

Krug Rosé lends itself to pairing ideas outside the box. For example, when it accompanies very good quality anchovies, a magical encounter occurs. The saltiness of the fish sublimes the fruit aromas and silkiness of the Champagne, turning the anchovies into a velvet sensation. Krug Rosé can also be enjoyed with foie 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. Unexpectedly, it best accompanies very savory dishes.
