NV | Krug Edition 28ème Brut Rosé | Champagne Philippe Raimbault and after a hand harvest

and after a hand harvest

Yet this bowls you over as it heads off into some distance that’s all its own

It’s comes from 70-80 year old vines growing on Granitic soils found high up the Val di Bibei near the border with Valdeorras at some 700m above sea level

and the wine rested for one year in 50% new French oak

both ripe and racy at the same time

NV | Krug Edition 28ème Brut Rosé | Champagne Philippe Raimbault and after a hand harvestBeautiful peach pink color with a copper hue and a lot of floral nuances on the nose, offering dried cherries, peach skin and spices. It shows intensity and power, yet with elegance and precision. Full bodied with a fine texture and phenolic tension. Bright and already delicious with some zesty, dried orange peel character at the end. Drink or hold. James Suckling
