Krug Clos du Mesnil 2008 750mL with Gift Box

Krug Clos du Mesnil 2008 is a chiselled expression of a single walled plot in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, made exclusively from Chardonnay from one year and one vineyard. This presentation adds the gift-box presentation for the 750ml bottle.

From the Producer

Krug was founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, who broke with Champagne convention by fermenting every plot separately in small oak casks and keeping a vast library of reserve wines. Clos du Mesnil is the exception to Krug's own method: a walled 1.84-hectare plot in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, enclosed since 1698, that Krug acquired in 1971 and decided was distinctive enough to bottle alone. One plot, one grape, one year - the first vintage was 1979, and it is made only when the plot merits it.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Citrus, lightly toasted aromas, orange madeleine and the menthol signature associated with this small plot.
• Palate: Citrus in all its forms, grapefruit skin, ripe and candied citrus flavours and notes of barley sugar.
• Finish: Elegant, silky and persistent, with precision and a gentle bitterness carrying the wine through the finish.

Best For

Collector Champagne lists, Blanc de Blancs enthusiasts and gift occasions where vineyard specificity matters as much as brand prestige.
