                                                     } It all started with a potato, then an egg,
                                                 and a mushroom; and today it culminates in the
                                                   iridescent world of the sea and its inhabitants




                                                it is the ability to let yourself go and decide whether or not it
                                                is possible to remain afloat. Then the sip gradually becomes
                                                thicker, and like in the overture of an opera, both the archi-
                                                tecture in its entirety and the detail of every single act of it, of
                                                its every individual part, is sublimated in it. And it is precisely
                                                in this nature, on the limit of the metaphysical as regards its
                                                complexity, where the infinitely large and the infinitely small

                                                el beyond, if it is possible, with its Rosé 21ème Édition. In this
                                                case, too, we are in the presence of a cerebral nectar that, on
                                                its own, could redefine the concept of tasting itself, by teach-

                                                the simpler value of taste. In a single, crisp perception, Krug
                                                Rosé 21ème Édition incarnates the very essence of pleasure
                                                as we attempted to define it at the beginning of this tale. It
                                                is a pleasure to be learned in the perception of a silky and
                                                poignant savouriness, which leaves you blissful and stunned,
                                                thinking about nothing other than the good fortune of be-
