KRUG Clos du Mesnil 2000

Wine 2000 Champagne Champagne

Producer's note: Krug Clos du Mesnil 2000 is the expression of the purity of a Chardonnay located in one of the best terroirs in the region and grown on a single plot surrounded by walls, the Clos du Mesnil, harvested in 2000. This emblematic vineyard has been protected by walls since 1698 and nestled in the heart of Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of the most famous villages in Champagne for its Chardonnay. The small size of the plot, 1.84 hectares, and its location make Krug Clos du Mesnil 2000 a very rare wine.

 Gorgeous, nutty orange marmalade richness. Some mineral flintiness but over a broad fruit base. The 2000 has a taut palate, but there's that nutty richness, that expansive quality, the finish powering through with massive precision. Long, focused and promising huge potential.

Much tighter, fresher and leaner than the Clos d'Ambonnay 2000 once served in a decent champagne glass. Very complex and serious on the nose. Brightly fruited and finely etched. Thrilling tension. This wine was originally served in wide burgundy bowls and these made the wine taste much broader and more developed than the Clos d'Ambonnay 2000.

 The 2000 was disgorged 18 months ago, in early 2011. Very fresh flavours with focus and finely etched details. Flavours are complex with hints of biscuits, nuts, white flowers and spices. The backbone is made up of firm acidity that forms a clear linear line across the tongue and tightly knit flavours. The Chardonnay expression is crystalline and pure. Gorgeous detail - very long in the finish. A fine and elegant Clos du Mesnil.

The 2000 Brut Blanc de Blancs Clos du Mesnil continues to be a big, powerful wine with tons of fruit but less of the energy of the very best years. Pastry, smoke, pencil shavings and rich, yellow-fleshed fruit all emerge from this broad-shouldered, intense Clos du Mesnil.

Champagne Krug is a Champagne house based in Reims for over 160 years. The Krug house was established in 1843 by Johann-Joseph Krug, originally from Mainz (under French rule - see: History of Mainz). It now belongs to the luxury group LVMH. It is managed by Rémi Krug, representing the fifth generation, and by cellar master Éric Lebel.

Among the main techniques used is vinification in wood in small 205-liter barrels made from Argonne forest oak. Averaging 35 years old, the barrels are repaired by the house's coopers and reused from year to year. According to the cellar master: "The longevity of our champagnes is intimately linked to their time spent in barrels." Krug champagnes are only marketed when mature; in 2005, the 1990 vintage was delivered. For some champagnes, the house releases even older vintages kept for longer periods, such as the 1981 vintage which was disgorged and marketed in 2006 with less than 2,000 bottles under the Krug Collection label.
