  Decanter
  Krug's 29ème Édition Rosé is expressive, open and spicy on release, and features 67% of the challenging 2017 base year (although some of the red wines hail from the 2016 vintage). Krug relishes the challenge of difficult vintages, however, turning to its reserve library to help bring about a rosé of immediate depth and vinosity. Red plum, dried red berries and roasted spices make a fleshy, open entry, before a tangy, elongating finish is detailed with light herbal and peppery tones. It is relatively forward already, yet seems poised to develop more spicy and roasted savour in the medium term."

  The Wine Advocate
  Krug’s NV Rosé 29ème Édition blends 29 wines from five harvests dating back to 2010, and like the Grande Cuvée, each component is selected by Krug’s tasting committee through blind tastings. Anchored by the 2017 vintage, which comprises 67% of the assemblage, it gains its color, texture and character from the addition of 11% still red wine from Aÿ-Champagne and Mutigny, sourced from the 2016 and 2017 vintages. The wine opens with aromas evocative of grapefruit zest, redcurrant and apple pie, intricately mingled with a subtle trace of Sichuan pepper and a whisper of rosewood oil. On the palate, it presents as medium- to full-bodied, vinous and textural-albeit slightly less chiseled than its white counterpart. A deep core of fruit, tangy acidity and a long, perfumed finish with a delicate phenolic grip complete this new release."
