Product details

We invite you to discover the Soloist, the expression of the extreme purity of Krug Clos du Mesnil: from a single plot– Clos du Mesnil– a single grape variety– Chardonnay– and the harvest of a single year– 2008. This 1.84- hectare (4.5-acre) vineyard has been protected by walls since 1698. The vineyard is located in the heart of Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of the most iconic villages for Chardonnay in the Champagne region. The harvest of the Clos du Mesnil took place on September 18th, 20th, and 21st of 2008 and afforded grapes with intense freshness and elegantexpression that made for beautifully structured wines. The House of Krug chose to create Krug Clos du Mesnil 2008 because the year 2008 succeeded in offering ideal conditions for the maturation of beautiful grapes, with the promise of revealing the full potential of this walled plot.

Notes

On the nose, notes of citrus, lightly toasted aromas, orange madeleine and the menthol signature of this small plot. On the palate, citrus in all its forms and grapefruit skin give way to ripe and candied citrus flavours and notes of barley sugar, with a delightful bitterness. This champagne is elegant and chiselled, all the while silky and generous.

MAISON KRUG

Joseph Krug founded his Reims house in 1843 with a plan to make great Champagne every year, whatever the weather. Keeping each plot's wine distinct and building a library of reserves gave his successors the tools to pursue that idea.
