Krug Rosé 25ème Édition

This Champagne offers a perfect balance between maturity and fruit. It starts with the toasty aroma and moves to the palate that is mature while also having hints of red fruits and spice. The wine shows the advantage of aged rosé Champagne. Drink now. - Roger Voss.

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. - Tim Hall.
