FINE CHAMPAGNE FROM A CONNOISSEUR
From professional wine storage comes these rare Krug bottles from the Clos d'Ambonnay.
KRUG CLOS d'AMBONNAY
The product of a single walled vineyard, or "clos," the Clos d'Ambonnay is the rarest of the Krug expressions. Planted with only Pinot Noir grapes, this tiny 0.685 hectare vineyard on the southeastern curve of the Montaigne de Reims is a third of the size of the Clos du Mesnil, and even of Romanée-Conti, which is 1.8 hectares. The southeastern exposure is key to the development of the Pinot, as it tends to develop grapes that turn into richer, fuller wines. On offer here are two vintages of the Clos d'Ambonnay: the first ever, the 1995, and six bottles from the blockbuster 1996 vintage.
