The very first bottling of Clos du Mesnil is a fantastic Champagne that blends fresh, lively fruit flavors with a plush texture and expansive finish. A bright citrus character evolves into mature flavors of mineral, vanilla and ginger that seem to melt in your mouth. It's still totally firm in texture and strong in structure so there's no great hurry to pop the cork.--Krug Clos du Mesnil vertical. Drink now through 2010. Score: 98 Winespectator.com, Wine Spectator |

The 1979 Krug Clos du Mesnil is one of my all-time favorites. It boasts mind-blowing intensity in its dazzling layers of mineral-infused fruit. At times the 1979 comes across as intensely pointed and focused, but it changes constantly in the glass, showing elements of richness and creaminess as well. There is fabulous depth and purity in the 1979, not to mention an insanely beautiful, palate-staining finish. The 1979 was picked on October 9th, one of the latest harvests on record for the Clos.
