2008 Krug - Brut Clos du Mesnil (750ml)
99 Points
"Krug’s 2008 Clos du Mesnil, tasted from two bottles, is a very, very

special Champagne. Soaring aromatics, fine, chiseled fruit and

understated depth are the signatures of a Champagne that is

immediately captivating. Bright, salivating acids run through a core of

citrus fruit, lemon oil, slate, chalk, mint and white pepper. A touch of

reduction and a superb, fine mousse move the 2008 into a realm that

straddles Champagne and a distinctly Burgundian expression of

Chardonnay. The 2008 is going to be expensive, and I am already

hearing that allocations will be miniscule. For readers who can find it,

the 2008 is an essential Clos du Mesnil that will take its place among

the greatest vintages made here, specifically the 1979, 1988 and 1996.

If anyone wants to organize a comparative tasting of the four, plus

maybe the 2004, I’m game! The 2008 Clos du Mesnil is a magnificent

Champagne to savor over the next several decades.
