Krug Clos du Mesnil 2009

Krug Clos du Mesnil 2009 is a remarkable single-vineyard Champagne that showcases the pure power and precision of Chardonnay from one of the most revered sites in the region. Sourced from Krug’s tiny walled vineyard in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, it combines richness, tension, and extraordinary depth in a style that has made Clos du Mesnil one of Champagne’s most coveted releases.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this vintage shows a luminous, refined golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is layered and expressive, with confited lemon, mandarin peel, chamomile, dried flowers, and a subtle exotic, tropical edge that adds intrigue and complexity. On the palate, it is rich, full-bodied, and intensely concentrated, balancing citrus brightness with ripe, almost tropical fruit character. Despite its generosity and drive, there is a restrained, taut finish that signals further development ahead. This is an exceptionally serious young Clos du Mesnil with excellent aging potential and the structure to evolve beautifully over many years.

Production
Clos du Mesnil comes from a single enclosed vineyard in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of Champagne’s most celebrated chalk terroirs, prized for producing chiselled, mineral-driven Chardonnay. The 2009 vintage reflects meticulous vineyard selection and hand harvesting, with Krug’s exacting cellar work preserving the wine’s purity, depth, and precision through traditional Champagne vinification and extended aging on lees.

Food & Serving
Best enjoyed with refined dishes that match its intensity and elegance, such as lobster, scallops, poached turbot, citrus-glazed poultry, or aged Comté. Serve well chilled at around 10-12°C, and consider decanting briefly if opening young to allow the wine’s aromas and texture to open fully.
