First created in 1979, Clos du Mesnil was an unconventional expression in a region known for blending wines from multiple sites, offering instead a focused portrait of a single place and vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts intense golden colour leads into aromas of ripe wheat, toffee apple, caramel, mature citrus and lightly toasted nuts. The palate is generous and broad, with brown sugar, candied ginger and pecan giving way to citrus and a vivid wave of freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine comes from the 1.84-hectare Clos du Mesnil, enclosed by walls in the heart of Mesnil-sur-Oger, a village renowned for Chardonnay. It is made exclusively from Chardonnay harvested in the 2002 vintage and from this single parcel. Further details about the harvest and vinification are not specified. Its balance and freshness suggest potential for further development in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled, around 10–12°C, in a tulip-shaped Champagne glass to let its layered aromas unfold. It pairs beautifully with shellfish, fine seafood, roast poultry or aged Comté. Decanting is optional; for a mature bottle, opening it shortly before serving should allow its aromas to emerge without losing too much of its effervescence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChampagne Krug was founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug and is known for its meticulous approach to Champagne and its distinctive single-parcel wines. Clos du Mesnil, first produced in 1979, marked a notable departure from the region’s blending convention by expressing Chardonnay from one vineyard and one vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Krug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255052128593,"sku":"FW-4167","price":2676.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/krugclosdumesnilblancdeblancs2002gaveske-30.png?v=1783456225","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/krug-clos-du-mesnil-2002-giftbox","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
