Tasting Notes

Appearance:
A subtle, elegant pale pink hue—salmon-tinged, refined bubbles rising quietly, underscoring both finesse and stature. 

Nose:
An aromatic impression of rose hips and peony, redcurrant, mulberry, pink grapefruit peel, and a hint of cured ham/­salted nuance (a signature Krug rosé character). Pepper spice and floral notes complete the picture. 

Palate:
Generous and textured, yet with refinement. Flavours of crushed berries (raspberry, cherry), dried fruit, citrus zest (especially grapefruit/­orange peel), honeyed nuance, and fine minerality. The red-wine (macerated Pinot Noir) element brings structure and spice; the white base wines bring elegance and freshness. The finish is long, with fine mousse, subtle bitterness of citrus peel, and a savoury mineral tail.
