Krug Clos du Mesnil is a Champagne of great rarity, animated by the unmistakable character of the harvest produced in a year by an equally unique plot of Chardonnay, a secret jewel in the heart of Mesnil-sur-Oger one of the most charming and rich villages of Chardonnay of Champagne. At first glance, Clos du Mesnil is perceived in a strong brightness and the intense golden color of ripe corn. The nose reveals delicate aromas of citrus, barley sugar and dried fruit with balance and freshness. The palate is generous and round with a wonderful intensity. Initial hints of madeleine and brioche offer notes of pastry, tarte tatin, lemon meringue cake, bitter orange and a slight aroma of spices. The finish is persistent, with great tension and notes of candied ginger. Krug Clos du Mesnil goes perfectly with fish or shellfish dishes, such as plaice fillet in saffron sauce, zander with white butter, scallops or tuna carpaccio. It can also accompany meat dishes with a delicate taste such as blanquette de veau. To fully appreciate its style, this Champagne should be served at a serving temperature of 8/10 ºC.
