Krug Clos D'Ambonnay 2000

Krug Clos d’Ambonnay was born from the fifth generation of the Krug family, Rémi and Henri Krug’s quest to pay tribute to the Pinot Noir grapes of Ambonnay, a terroir dear to the Maison, while remaining loyal founder Joseph Krug’s plot-by-plot approach to winemaking.

Krug Clos d’Ambonnay is a rare gem epitomising the attention to detail, uncompromising quality and appreciation for unique terroirs inherited from Joseph Krug.

Gorgeous fresh colour with hints of emerald and buttercup yellow, and minuscule bubbles across the glass. The palate has some serious luxury with the mousse creamy across the tongue, but there is cocoa and buttery Brazil nut flesh, the weight filling the mid-palate before a precision to the acidity that scythes through something like the 1996, the little toast notes filling underneath. A baby, but the components need some time to knit together.
