Krug Clos du Mesnil 1998
Champagne, FranceIt is impossible to say anything new about Clos du Mesnil, the 100 per cent Krug chardonnay champagne grown in a vineyard surrounding by a wall (clos) within the village of Mesnil. For blanc de blanc fans the near imperceptible power and elegance of this wine underlies its spectacular flavours in the mouth. So chiselled, yet so refined and always meticulously put together on the palate. Youthful at nearly 12 years old the latest CdM is only beginning its life in the market. Subtle, delicate, supercharged and creamy it remains extraordinary in its class. Tasted: 03 December 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $1343.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
