Krug Clos du Mesnil 2004 750ml

 

The year 2004 called for patience with a crisp winter and chill spring keeping temperatures in Champagne cool for an exceptionally long time. May brought a gentle warmth to the region and in late summer the grapes ripened perfectly in the radiant sunshine.

Combining outstanding purity and freshness with tension, vivacity and great balance, today Krug Clos du Mesnil 2004 reveals a precise signature and striking grace.

The House of Krug chooses to create Krug Clos du Mesnil only in years that provide the ideal conditions for the full potential of this enclosed plot of Chardonnay vines to be revealed.

Krug Clos du Mesnil 2004 reveals a precise signature and a striking grace, after resting in the cellar for over ten years.

At first sight, vibrant and luminous with an intense golden colour redolent of ripe wheat.

On the nose, expressive aromas of toffee apple, caramel, ripe citrus fruits and lightly toasted nuts.

On the palate, it opens with astonishing generosity and breadth. Initial hints of brown sugar, candied ginger and pecan give way to notes of citrus fruits as it bursts into an explosion of freshness enhanced by a very long and elegant finish.
