Clos du Mesnil is a rare blanc de blancs produced only in exceptional years from a single, tiny 1.84ha plot in the heart of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The 1988 is considered among the greatest ever releases from Krug. It displays characteristically rich and complex fruit, subtly chalky minerality and ethereal levels of precision and elegance. Flirting with perfection, this should be on any self-respecting Champagne lover’s bucket list.
