Krug Rose 27eme Édition

Description

Product Description Krug Rose 27eme Édition is a unique and exceptional Champagne, created with the mastery of blending 38 wines from 9 different years. The youngest wine in this blend dates from 2015, while the oldest hails from 2005, reflecting Krug’s commitment to long-term cellaring and the art of blending. This Champagne is a tribute to the House’s boldness and elegance, with 10% of the blend made up of traditionally macerated Pinot Noir, sourced from the plots of Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, giving it a distinct spiciness, structure, and colour. With a composition of 57% Pinot Noir, 23% Chardonnay, and 20% Meunier, this exceptional blend is aged for seven years, bringing out the rich complexity and elegance that Krug Rose is known for. Krug Rose 27eme Édition is a Champagne like no other, embodying both boldness and refinement. It was created to be reinterpreted each year while maintaining the dream of the fifth generation of the Krug family: to craft a rose Champagne that can be replicated but still offer unique expressions of the best terroirs in Champagne. With each bottle, Krug Rose provides a distinct yet timeless experience, making it the perfect choice for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship and a Champagne that only gets better with age. Krug Rose 27eme Édition is best paired with savoury dishes that complement its complexity and richness. It pairs beautifully with foie gras, lamb, game, and venison, as well as white meats and dishes with a touch of spice. This Champagne is not recommended for sweet desserts but would be exceptional with non-sweet treats like salted caramel or nut-based pastries. Its versatility makes it a stunning companion for a variety of culinary experiences.
