Some expressions are merely sampled; this one is remembered for a lifetime. The Krug Clos d'Ambonnay Blanc de Noirs Brut Champagne represents the absolute pinnacle of single-walled vineyard craftsmanship. Sourced entirely from a tiny, historic 0.68-hectare plot in the heart of Ambonnay, this rare gemstone of a Champagne honors the intensity and elegance of pure Pinot Noir. Housed in an elegant presentation case, this highly coveted release is tailored for extraordinary collections, monumental milestones, and the rarest of celebrations.
This Krug Brut Champagne has a beautiful golden colour and tiny bubbles all over the inside of the glass. In the background, you can pick up on notes of hazelnut and bruised apple, along with the minerality of wet river stones, the creaminess of a light herbaceousness, and a hint of sweetness. The mousse is creamy and luxurious on the tongue, but there is also cocoa and buttery Brazil nut flesh. The weight fills the middle of the tongue before the acidity hits with precision.
