The 1995 Blanc de Blancs Clos du Mesnil is a beautiful、 delicate、 medium-bodied Champagne offering hints of flint、 chalk、 white peaches、 honeyed grapefruit、 and lemon zest.
This beautiful Chardonnay tastes of liquid minerals and reeks of terroir. ◆ロバート・パーカー氏評:94点 (ワイン・アドヴォケイト誌162号より)
Krug’s 1998 Clos du Mesnil achieves a striking balance of power and elegance.
Clos du Mesnil is always a more detailed、 finely sculpted wine than the Vintage、 as it is again in 1998. Although the fruit is incredibly primary and dense today、 the mousse is extraordinarily finessed.
While the 1998 Clos du Mesnil requires further cellaring、 its first-rate pedigree is amply evident at this early stage. Clos du Mesnil is a Blanc de Blancs (Chardonnay) that emerges from a walled-in parcel in the village of Mesnil.
Along with Clos d'Ambonnay、 Clos du Mesnil is unique among the Krug wines in that the single-vineyard、 single-variety approach had never been used at this house until the first Clos du Mesnil was bottled in 1979.
