At first sight, a bright and luminous golden colour of ripe wheat. On the nose, aromas of citrus fruits, white pepper and spices, slightly grilled nuts and brioche. On the palate, it is precise, pure and fresh with tension, vivacity and great balance. Notes of peach, orange, citrus fruit and liquorice are all enhanced by a very long finish.
The single walled plot of Krug’s Clos du Mesnil lies in the heart of Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of the most renowned villages for Chardonnay in the Champagne region.
This small plot of merely 1.84 hectare makes Krug Clos du Mesnil 2003 extremely rare.
Krug Clos du Mesnil 2003 comes after 13 years in the cellars and will continue to gain with the passage of time, evidence that patience is the constant ally of all Krug Champagnes.
