One of Champagne's most iconic wines, Krug Clos du Mesnil is the purest expression of Chardonnay in the Krug portfolio. Produced exclusively from a tiny 1.84-hectare walled vineyard in the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, the Clos has been protected by its walls since 1698.  Made only in exceptional vintages, each release captures the singular personality of one vineyard, one grape variety and one year. After more than a decade ageing in Krug's cellars, the 2006 reveals the extraordinary precision, depth and longevity for which Clos du Mesnil is revered.

"The 2006 Clos du Mesnil was harvested over three days, which is remarkable for a tiny parcel measuring 1.84 hectares divided into five blocks that are often picked over a wider timeframe. Soaring in the glass, the 2006 is stratospheric in its beauty. The richness of the year contrasts so beautifully with the flintiness and energy of Mesnil. With time in the glass the mousse softens, releasing layers of vinous intensity. Tangerine oil, pastry, lemon confit and marzipan all build effortlessly. The 2006 is sumptuous, racy and exotic to the core, with all of that richness supported by a phenolic, intense frame. Drink 2022-2046."  Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com
