Krug Rose 27eme Edition

品飲筆記：顏色呈淺珊瑚粉，氣泡細緻。香氣以紅果與玫瑰果為主軸，伴隨粉紅葡萄柚、柑橘皮和麵包香，還有些微烘烤的杏仁與蜂蜜感。入口活潑但圓潤，酸度明亮，氣泡帶來細緻口感，舌上有輕微鵝絨般的單寧輪廓，尾韻帶鹹礦感，延展悠長。

生產與釀造：此瓶屬Krug的Edition系列，以多年份與庫藏酒調配出層次感。約一半以上來自酒莊豐富的儲藏酒款，並以傳統法二次發酵保存至少多年於瓶中酒泥中，使風味更為融合。釀程中使用少量以短時浸皮而成的紅酒提供色澤與結構，並透過輕微橡木處理與低劑量補糖（Brut）維持乾爽線條。

葡萄園與環境：來自香檳多個精選園塊，土壤多變（粉筆層、石灰與粘土等）帶出清晰礦感與活潑酸度。酒莊重視分地管理與選果，讓每一塊田的個性都能於調配時互補，最終呈現豐富而優雅的風貌。

飲用提示：建議冰鎮後立即享用，若想讓香氣更開，可於開瓶後靜置約10分鐘再倒杯。無論作為開胃酒或搭配如鮭魚、油脂魚及慶祝餐桌，都能帶來亮眼表現。

Tasting note: Pale salmon-pink with a luminous bead. The nose opens to layered red-berry fruit, rosehip and pink grapefruit over brioche and toasted almond. On the palate it is vibrant and textured — lively citrus, a whisper of honeyed richness and a fine, persistent mousse that carries saline mineral notes into a long, refined finish.

Producer notes: Part of Krug's multi-vintage 'Edition' series, Edition 27 is a complex assemblage of nearly four dozen reserve and recent wines. House philosophy emphasizes depth through reserve wines and extended aging before release; roughly 55% of the blend comes from the house’s reserve library and the cuvée rests for years on the lees to harmonize.

Winemaking notes: Made by the traditional method with a portion of macerated red wine contributing colour and structure, the wine undergoes extended élevage (seven years en tirage) and benefits from subtle oak maturation in the broader cellar program. Brut dosage keeps the wine dry while showcasing freshness and textural richness.

Vineyard notes: Grapes are sourced from selected plots across the Champagne region, chosen for complementary soils and microclimates. The terroir mix — with classic chalky, limestone and clay influences — lends minerality and precise acidity that underpin the wine’s structure.

Service: Serve well chilled; allow a short 10-minute breathing time after opening if you’d like the aromatics to blossom. Excellent as an aperitif or paired with richer seafood and celebratory dishes.

Krug was founded on a single-minded commitment to artisanal blending and depth. Renowned for its house style that celebrates complexity through reserve wines and meticulous cellar work, Krug crafts multi-vintage cuvées and numbered 'Editions' that are matured long before release. Now part of the LVMH family, the house retains an independent, cellar-focused approach centered on richness, finesse and a signature aromatic precision.
