“The 2004 Clos du Mesnil captures all the pedigree of this epic Blanc des Blancs vintage. A soaring, majestic Champagne, the 2004 dazzles from the very first taste with its crystalline purity and brightness. In two tastings so far, the 2004 has been nothing less than a total showstopper. The vertical structure and pure, tightly-coiled power are the stuff dreams are made of. There is little doubt the 2004 is one of the very finest Clos du Mesnils in recent memory. Will it join the 1979, 1988 and 1996 as one of the all-time greats? Now, that is a tasting I would love to do!”

“ID 416040. Particularly generous harvest after the heatwave vintage of 2003 then a long winter and late budbreak. Saved by an Indian summer. Picked 24 and 25 September (Krug usually start with Clos du Mesnil).
Bright gold. Intense nose – very Chardonnay. Bone dry and dense. Saline. There's a whiff of mature Chablis about this. The usual Krug intellectual intrigue and slight austerity. Still a bit of a challenge.”
