winemaker's notes:
Krug Rosé is a relatively recent addition to the Krug range of Champagnes, having been introduced first in 1983. While produced in a manner similar to other Krug Champagnes and stylistically consistent, it nevertheless presents a uniquely exotic and intriguing set of aromas and flavors. It's color is a pale salmon, suggesting the barest hint of pink. It is quite dry and appealing with a wide array of cuisines. Krug Rosé is a unique blend that spans four to six different vintages, three grape varieties, and encompasses all the complexities of the Krug style. It is aged for a minimum of six years before release. Krug Rosé is produced only occasionally and in strictly limited quantities.
critical acclaim:
"There’s plenty of fruit here-raspberry, black currant and hints of
orange-but also ginger, sweet baking spices and toast. This is
complex and beautifully balanced, with a long, fresh and expansive
aftertaste. Drink now through 2013."

Wine Spectator
"The beauty of Krug's rosé is the sense of bottle age, of that extra richness. That means the wine is not just the sum of its delicious red berry fruits. It’s also the way the wine is rounded out, filled with secondary flavors, toast and almonds and a taut minerality. The aftertaste is taut, dry, seamless, complex."

Wine Enthusiast
"The NV Brut Rose is awesome in the way it combines elegance, finesse and power. There is superb material in the density of fruit, along with perfumed aromatics and silky, chalky tannins that frame the long finish. It’s all here in this sublime, sensual wine, but readers should note that the same caveats apply as with the Grand Cuvee above. "

The Wine Advocate
"Bright salmon-skin color. A complex, smoky bouquet displays peach pit, potpourri, buttered toast and a slow-building note of wild strawberry. Deeply pitched stone fruit and red berry flavors are sharpened by a note of bitter blood orange, with a jolt of honeysuckle on the back end. Powerful but fine-grained and precise, with excellent finishing thrust and lingering vanilla, spice and smoke notes."

International Wine Cellar
"High in autolyzed yeast and showing the layered complexity of lengthy aging, this non-vintaged bottling is a classic expression of the Krug style. It is, in all truth, not as concerned with fruit as many, but its very firm balance, fine foamy mousse and its long, brisk flavors will not disappoint aficionados."

A Customer - Delray Beach, Florida
We first tried Krug Rose in Las Vegas. Fell in love. It has very tight bubbles and NO after taste, making it a true pleasure to drink. We tasted hints of strawberries ( we also put them into the glass ) and enjoyed its silky qualities. Krug Rose is #1 in our book. We just purchased a three bottle set and cant wait to drink them
