Clos du Mesnil Brut Blanc de Blancs 2008 Vintage Overview

2008 OVERVIEW

Intensity and precision define Krug Clos du Mesnil Brut Blanc de Blancs 2008, a laser-focused Champagne that coils bright citrus, white grapefruit and lemon oil around a deep core of chalk and cool stone.

This is a monumental, tightly wound Clos du Mesnil that will gain even more nuance with long cellaring.

Considered one of Champagne’s benchmark blanc de blancs, it combines extreme purity with layered…
