Krug Clos du Mesnil Blanc de Blancs, Champagne

A walled 1.84-hectare garden in the heart of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, producing one of the world's most singular white wines. Krug's Clos du Mesnil is Chardonnay of almost shocking intensity — linear, mineral and built for decades of ageing. In years when it is released, it commands prices that reflect both its scarcity and its unimpeachable reputation. This is the wine that proved a single Champagne vineyard could rival Burgundy's greatest monopoles.
