Krug Clos Du Mesnil Blanc de Blanc 2006 OWC

DKK 11995

TASTING NOTES

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.

Beskrivelse

KRUG CLOS DU MESNIL BLANC DE BLANC 2006

Slated for release later this year, Krug’s 2006 Blanc de Blancs Clos du Mesnil unwinds in the glass with aromas of buttered citrus fruit, crisp green pear, warm pastry, freshly baked bread, apricot and licorice. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, the 2006’s comparatively extroverted and gourmand bouquet is in contrast to its deep, chiseled and tightly wound palate, and it’s here that the site really dominates the vintage signature. Long, sapid and penetrating, complemented by a pillowy pinpoint mousse, this is a brilliant Blanc de Blancs that has been well worth the wait. By the standards of young Clos du Mesnil, it’s already quite approachable and can already be drunk with considerable satisfaction.

  • 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 2006 extremely rare.
  • Krug Clos du Mesnil 2006 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.

The House of Krug’s unique craftsmanship has revealed a rare Champagne from an exceptional terroir, the Clos du Mesnil. Located in the heart of the village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of the most iconic villages for Chardonnay in the Champagne region, this vineyard of 1.84 hectares has been protected by walls since 1698

Vinifikation
The House of Krug’s unique craftsmanship is based on our understanding every plot through its individual wine. After several tastings by the tasting committee, a thorough assessment of each plot’s wine is achieved. In order to reveal the individual essence of every Krug Champagne, the most expressive wines are selected to play in each composition accordingly.
No strong filtering or cold treatment is applied to any of our wines before bottling, thereby keeping a non-interventionist approach to the creation of every Krug Champagne, from vineyards to glass. As a result of this choice, while enjoying Krug, you may occasionally notice at the bottom of the last glass a few wine diamonds – harmless tartrate crystals which can form naturally while bottles are resting or being chilled. These are also known as quality crystals and we at the House of Krug felt it was important to share with you this further evidence of our commitment to preserving the most natural approach to the creation of all Krug Champagnes.
