First created with the 1979 vintage, it challenged Champagne’s blending traditions by expressing the character of a single plot and a single year; this giftbox presents the 2009 vintage in a particularly distinctive form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA deep golden hue leads into aromas of ripe wheat, toffee apple, caramel, ripe citrus and lightly toasted nuts. The palate is generous and broad, with brown sugar, candied ginger and pecan giving way to citrus fruit and a striking surge of freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine comes from the Clos du Mesnil, a walled 1.84-hectare vineyard in the heart of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, a village renowned for Chardonnay. It is a single-parcel, single-vintage Champagne made entirely from Chardonnay; specific details about the 2009 harvest and vinification are not provided. Its concentration, balance and long finish make it a compelling candidate for further cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled, around 10–12°C, with fine seafood such as scallops or lobster, roast poultry, or dishes featuring mushrooms and toasted nuts. Its depth also suits aged hard cheeses. Pour directly into a generous white-wine glass; decanting is optional, but a brief rest in the glass can allow its layered aromas to unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChampagne Krug was founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, with a philosophy centred on crafting Champagne of depth and individuality. Clos du Mesnil is one of the house’s most distinctive expressions: its first vintage, 1979, was an unusual departure from the Champagne convention of blending wines from multiple parcels and years, and established the single-vineyard wine as a celebration of Chardonnay and its site.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Krug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252470829393,"sku":"FW-10271","price":1672.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/NVGrid1.png?v=1783444783","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/krug-clos-du-mesnil-2009-giftbox","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
