Wine Front 96 Points!
Nick Stock 96 Points!
Produced in strictly limited quantities, the Krug Rose is not a classic rose. It is original, voluptuous and mysterious. It fascinates the eye and lips with its hint of flowers and its lively freshness, but its round flavour reigns from the first sip.
Its colour " salmon-pink with a touch of coral " is initially surprising and hints at the subtle flavour to come. The nose of the Krug Rose is fine and flowery, complex and charming. It is easy to be seduced by its notes of wild strawberry, raspberry, wild berries and a hint of spices. It is fruity and delicate, very dry yet supple.
Notes sourced from Krug
Nick Stock 96 points!"A special wine in every regard, the Krug Rose is a rarity in Champagne. Offering perfectly struck pale-salmon colour, it has elemental, bright citrus and light-red fruit notes, very composed, gently chalky and fragrant. The palate is very precise and pure, with fresh, nutty dark citrus and toasty flavours; it has terrific, vinous appeal and will age nicely on cork. There's less reserve wine that the Grande Cuvee, hence the freshness and more unevolved style."

Wine Front 96 points!“Strawberry and rosy perfume, exotic spices, subtle yeasty smell. Small red fruit flavour, ultra-fine minerally/saline feel, delightful mouth perfume, well rounded and juicy, but fine feeling and not sweet. Super long dry finish. Impossible not to quaff or drink lustily. 96 points for quality, perhaps 97 for sheer pleasure.”
