Producer's Notes:

Maison Krug’s unique craftsmanship has revealed a rare champagne from a remarkable terroir, the Clos du Mesnil.

This 1.84-hectare (4.5-acre) vineyard overlooked by the village church has been protected by walls since 1698. It is located in the heart of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of the most iconic villages for Chardonnay in the Champagne region.

Krug Clos du Mesnil perpetuates the nonconformist spirit of Joseph Krug, founder of Maison Krug. It illustrates the Maison’s commitment to crafting champagnes of undisputed quality by respecting the individuality of each plot of vines, transforming its fruit into a unique wine. This art requires careful berry tastings before harvest and meticulous fruit.

Initially intended to ensure a regular supply of Chardonnay wines to enrich the blend of Krug Grande Cuvée, Krug’s Clos du Mesnil plot has consistently and uniquely revealed a beautiful character year after year.

In 1979, the harvest was so outstanding, it led the brothers, Rémi and Henri Krug to make a champagne created exclusively from grapes of this Clos and this single year, presented for the first time in 1986.

Born at a time when the conventions in Champagne concentrated on blending multiple wines from varied plots, Krug Clos du Mesnil offers a Champagne of exceptional beauty and poise, telling a story of this plot’s grapes, only on very special years.

Krug Clos du Mesnil 2009 exalts the extreme purity of one of the finest terroirs in Champagne – a single walled plot of vines, the Clos du Mesnil – and of a single grape variety, Chardonnay - from a single year, 2009.

A chiselled and elegant expression of its terroir, Krug Clos du Mesnil 2009 is the 21st champagne from this unique plot, the first was created from the 1979 harvest.
