Krug
Since 1843 six generations of the Krug Family have been creating the finest and rarest Champagnes. Behind every precious drop of Krug stands the dream of a visionary. One man who long before others understood that the essence of Champagne is pleasure. So over 170 years ago Joseph Krug broke with convention to follow his vision: to create the most generous expression of Champagne every year regardless of climatic unpredictability. Thanks to an uncompromising craftsmanship a unique individual plot by plot approach from harvesting to blending an unparalleled library of 150 reserve wines and an exceptional cellar aging Krug is the benchmark when it comes to the best champagnes in the world.
Description
The Krug Clos du Mesnil 2008 presents a light, golden mineral hue. On the nose, it offers notes of citrus, lightly toasted aromas, orange madeleine, and the menthol signature characteristic of this specific plot. The palate reveals citrus in all its forms and grapefruit skin, giving way to ripe and candied citrus flavors and notes of barley sugar, with a delightful bitterness. This champagne is elegant and chiselled, while also silky and generous.
Food Pairing
Krug Clos du Mesnil 2008 pairs beautifully with halibut or St. Pierre in lemon butter or dill and fennel sauce, as well as with a fresh seafood platter, oysters, or roast guinea fowl with herbs .
