The Purity of Origin, the Essence of Chardonnay.
Among Maison Krug's rarest creations, Krug Clos du Mesnil is a tribute to extreme purity: a single terroir, a single grape variety, a single year. From a walled vineyard of just 1.84 hectares, located in the heart of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger - one of the most revered crus on the Côte des Blancs - this exceptional champagne translates the purified expression of Chardonnay like no other.
Surrounded by walls since the 17th century, Clos du Mesnil remains a place apart, where each harvest is rigorously assessed and only the truly extraordinary years are chosen to give rise to this champagne. Its mineral elegance, firm structure and delicate tension reveal the most sculpted and luminous side of the grape variety, in a champagne of great precision and character.
More than a vintage, Krug Clos du Mesnil is a rare piece of oenological haute couture, created to emphasise moments of contemplation and celebration with discretion and refinement.
How to Enjoy Krug Clos Du Mesnil: Food Pairings and Recommendations.
Krug Clos du Mesnil is a champagne of verticality and precision, designed to enhance the purest flavours of gastronomy. Its vibrant freshness, deep minerality and aromatic complexity call for dishes that respect this nobility and let the terroir do the talking. At O Gaveto Restaurant, the following pairings stand out:
-
Fresh seafood – The delicacy of natural clams, lobster or crab is echoed in the vibrant minerality and purity of Clos du Mesnil, creating a direct link between sea and soil.
-
Grilled or cooked fish – Sea bass, sole or turbot reveal all their elegance when accompanied by this precise Chardonnay, which respects the flavour of the fish and adds depth to the dish.
-
Delicate sea rice – Dishes such as lobster rice, where the flavour of the sea merges with the texture of the rice, take on a new dimension with the tension and persistence of Krug Clos du Mesnil.
To best appreciate the elegance and precision of Krug Clos du Mesnil, we recommend tasting it between 10ºC and 12ºC, in wide-rimmed white wine glasses that allow its mineral, floral and citrus aromas to breathe and fully express themselves.
