Rated 96 Points Wine Spectator
A lovely, creamy rosé Champagne, seamlessly layering vivid acidity with the range of dried fig, poached apricot and Mandarin orange peel fruit notes, offering exotic accents of grilled nut, curry spice and dogwood blossom that expand and echo on the finish.

Rated 96 Points Wine & Spirits
Eric Lebel achieves the beautiful color of this wine with the addition of pinot noir fermented on its skins. The rest of the blend includes reserve wines and selections of chardonnay, pinot noir and meunier that come together in Krug’s most ephemeral Champagne, an effervescent mist of flavor with the depths of a grand cru Vosne-Romanée. Resonant bass notes hold earthy complexity while vibrant freshness rises with the bubbles. An elegant rosé to pour with thin slices of roast duck breast.
