How to serve Krug Rose
Allow 5 minutes from open to pour.
- Open and pour. Open and pour directly. No decanting required for this style.
- Serve at 6-8°C. Cellar temperature (6-8°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
- Glassware. Use a tulip flute. A tulip shape rewards the bouquet better than a narrow flute and frames the wine's structure.
- Pair with. Seared tuna, Duck breast, Charcuterie board. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
History
Krug shocked the market in 1983 by releasing a rose, applying the same multi-vintage, oak-fermented philosophy as Grande Cuvee to a blend incorporating macerated red Pinot Noir.
