Krug Clos du Menil 1998

Exceptional champagne. Clos du Mesnil is the ultimate expression of an exceptional and unique champagne. It is made of Chardonnay from a vintage only and from a single 1.85 ha vineyard that was walled so that an exceptional microclimate was created. The vines have different ages, as the Krug family took about 8 years to plant them, and they are planted on a gentle slope facing the southeast. The first vintage released dates back to 1979.

Very bright and clear pale golden yellow. Thin and elegant bubbles which form a perfect rosary.

Rich, complex and fresh. The aromas are released with an extraordinary harmony. Elegant notes of flowers with delicate touches of citrus, nuts and subtle honeyed hints are noticed on a mineral background typical of Clos du Mesnil. The fruit appears as a light nuance, without covering the typical aromas of this champagne.

Lively and tasty champagne with a complexity that is constantly evolving. The soft notes of fruit along with the floral aromas form a seductive bouquet that is rounded with a touch of citrus (in the mouth, orange peel is noticed) and vanilla and spices that remind us of its early stay in wood. Elegant finish with a great persistence that will make us enjoy a unique pleasure.
