Description
PREPARATION
Grapes: Chardonnay.
Krug Clos du Mesnil is a very rare Champagne, showing the unique character of a single plot of Chardonnay, harvested in a single year. This 1.84 hectare vineyard dominated by the village church has been protected by walls since 1698. The vineyard is located in the heart of Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of the most iconic Chardonnay villages in the Champagne region. In 1979, the Krug brothers decided to make a Champagne created exclusively from grapes from this Clos and from this single year. Krug Clos du Mesnil 1979 was born at a time when conventions in Champagne focused on blending multiple wines from varied plots. Clos du Mesnil de Krug offers a Champagne of exceptional beauty and poise, which tells the story of the grapes of this plot, only in very special years.
TASTING
View: Intense golden color with a vibrant luminosity.
Nose: Aroma of ripe wheat with delicate notes of citrus, barley, sugar and nuts with balance and freshness.
Mouth: In the mouth it is generous and round with beautiful intensity. The first touches of brioche give way to notes of pastries, tarte tatin, lemon meringue, bitter orange and a little spice. The finish is long, with a lot of tension and notes of candied ginger.
Recommended temperature: 9-12º C.
