Krug Clos du Mesnil 2003

Champagne, FranceThere must be some magic air conditioner at Clos du Mesnil, perhaps the wall (le clos) and town conspire to keep the vineyard cool because in a very hot 2003 this is a very cool customer. The nose is at once enticing and mysterious with the lightest of floral, salty citrus notes wafting from the glass. The palate is juicy in a polite with aromatic pear fruit, lemongrass and just a minute dusting of white pepper and dried herbs. A perfect bubble for oysters or lobster and one that will age well thorough 2020.Tasted: 10 December 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
