Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Mineral tension and vivid acidity characteristic of a grand cru Chardonnay grown on pure belemnite chalk.
Roundness
The 2009 vintage, generous and sun-kissed, lends a beautiful fullness and silky texture to the palate.
Power
Remarkable concentration drawn from a unique 1.84-hectare clos vinified as a single-vineyard wine since 1979.
Length
A saline, persistent finish of exceptional length — the indelible mineral signature of Mesnil-sur-Oger.

TASTING NOTES

Pale gold in the glass with warm golden highlights, fine bubbles rising in a tight, persistent cordon. On the nose, white blossom, candied citrus, a whisper of brioche and a distinct chalky signature lifted by a hint of orange madeleine. The palate is both generous and precise, threaded through with a saline mineral tension that speaks unmistakably of great terroir, with a remarkably persistent finish of fresh lemon and gentle spice.

Terroirs

Sourced from the Clos du Mesnil, a historic 1.84-hectare walled vineyard enclosed within the village of Mesnil-sur-Oger (Côte des Blancs, 100% grand cru), planted exclusively with Chardonnay on belemnite chalk of absolute purity. Vinified as a single-vineyard cuvée since 1979, it stands as one of the most singular and purest expressions of Champagne terroir.

Krug

About this house

Founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, Maison Krug is a house apart in the world of Champagne: it produces only prestige cuvées, crafted according to an uncompromising vision of excellence and fermented in small oak casks to yield wines of rare complexity with exceptional ageing potential.

The Clos du Mesnil is its most radical expression: a single-vineyard blanc de blancs produced only in exceptional vintages, and today one of the most sought-after and celebrated Champagnes in the world. Now part of the LVMH group, the house preserves its unique artistic identity under the watchful stewardship of the Krug family.
