Krug Rose Champagne 26th Edition 750ml

98 points James Suckling

 A very vinous rosé with sliced strawberry and peach aromas and flavors with a steely undertone. Hints of cream and biscuit. It’s medium-bodied, tight, linear and precise with pinpointed structure that goes straight to the center palate and carries on through the long finish. Very fine tannins provide drive and length.

John Gilman: 97 Points

The Krug Rose Champagne Edition 24 is from the base year of 2012 and the wine is absolutely stunning on both the nose and palate. The wine includes reserves back to the 2006 vintage and ended up with a cépages of forty percent pinot noir thirty-two percent pinot meunier and twenty-eight percent chardonnay. The wine this year includes eleven percent of its pinot noir component as still red wine from Aÿ and the wine is quite a bit deeper in hue than is often the case for a Krug Rosé. The bouquet is pure precise and utterly refined wafting from the glass in a mix of fraises du bois a touch of rhubarb blood orange caraway seed wheat toast a gorgeous base of soil tones
