A deceptively sweet nose gives way before a pleasing, zippy acidity that cuts through a harmonious blend of minerality and notes of strawberry. Light effervescence completes the package. I paired this with New Mexico-style red chile and somehow, this wine was not only not overwhelmed, it shone even brighter.

Starting to soften and lose its youthful edge just that touch...in a really nice way. A treat any afternoon. — 8 years ago
2010 Soter Brut Rose. Banging good, nice salinity with bright lean strawberries and apricots, lovely orange kiss on the tongue and in the color. The balance of the acidity and texture and the way the flavors linger for a lifetime.
One of my favorites one of the best in America! — 8 years ago

Big rosé? Yes, each level contains a higher percentage of Rolle. The added richness responds well to the barrel-ferment. Library dates back to '06. Would love to taste some older vintages. — 9 years ago

When it's 90 degrees in San Diego, really chilled, crisp, and dry Rose is the answer. Especially on a Friday afternoon. This Cote de Provence is very nice. Trending towards dry Riesling, just the way I like it. Nice minerals. Rating confirmed at NCWC for their top 10 '17. WS 90 Pts as well. — 7 years ago
What can I say, I love this stuff! Have drinken quite a bit of it this week and as always love the slight spritz and balance initially...so drinkable, but new takeaways for me...cand def age this wine; and calling it a Rose is a bit of a disservice to its versatility. Held up all the way theough a meal of shrimp and heirlooms to Filet Mignon with Port/Gorgonzola sauce. Just amazing as always...my desert island wine. — 8 years ago

NYE =‘s Krug Rosé. I can’t say I completely agree with what the Krug fireplace mantel suggests, but it’s certainly very delicately delicious and will put a guaranteed smile on your face! The mouthfeel is entirely feminine. The micro bubbles are unmistakable Krug and made with great precision. Fruits of; black raspberries, black cherry, cherries, watermelon mid way to the rhine, strawberries & understated citrus notes with pink grapefruit dominating the blend. The fruits are so restrained but are perfectly styled on the leaner side yet so ripe, juicy and delicious. There’s brioche but it comes fresh from the best of Parisian bakeries. Sea spray, minerality that is so soft & delicate, it’s hard to call it minerality. Krug Rosé reveals the very best, smooth, silky, velvety chalkiness that can be found on this planet. Pink roses/florals for days. Perfect acidity and a glorious, long, rich, beautiful finish that doesn’t end. If you enjoy wines that show pure elegance, perfect finesse and haven’t had Krug Rosé, treat yourself to a bottle or a split. The split may leave you wanting more. However, I can’t think of a better wine/way to celebrate the current year and bring in the next. Happy New Year all! May 2018 be peaceful, successful and spent with your family, best friends, prodigious wines and excellent food pairings! — 6 years ago
