Krug

Clos du Mesnil 2003 | Bottle 75cl - Wooden case

Description

Krug likes a challenge and does nothing like the others.

The Reims-based house decided to make its prestige cuvée, Le Clos du Mesnil, from the difficult 2003 vintage. An atypical year, marked by both spring frosts and a heatwave in August.

These conditions led to an early harvest, which began around August 20, something that had not happened in Champagne for 1 century.

Few houses dared to vintage this year, with the notable exceptions of Bollinger, Moët & Chandon and Dom Pérignon!

The result of this 2003 vintage and Krug's expertise is an explosive champagne. It's a rich, impressive cuvée, full of emotions and aromas. There are notes of lemongrass, pomelo, fresh pineapple and honey.

As always with Krug, the maturity of the aromas is not at the expense of freshness and vivacity.

Krug's Clos du Mesnil 2003 is, once again, a true monument.
