The Intensity of Origin, the Essence of Pinot Noir.
Among Maison Krug's rarest creations, Krug Clos d'Ambonnay is a celebration of the intensity and depth of Pinot Noir. From a walled plot of just 0.68 hectares, located in the heart of Ambonnay - one of the most revered crus for this grape variety in the Champagne region - this exceptional champagne reveals the purest and most concentrated expression of Pinot Noir.
The Clos d'Ambonnay, protected by walls since the 18th century, offers unique conditions that give the wine a powerful structure and remarkable aromatic complexity. Its limited production and prolonged ageing in the Maison's cellars result in a champagne of great depth, with notes of ripe red fruit, spice and a distinctive elegance.
More than a vintage champagne, Krug Clos d'Ambonnay is an enological masterpiece, created for moments of contemplation and exquisite celebration.
