Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes Krug Clos du Mesnil so rare?
- It is produced from a single 1.84-hectare walled vineyard and released only when the terroir expresses itself perfectly — not every vintage makes the cut.
- How does Clos du Mesnil taste?
- Precise and crystalline — citrus zest, white flowers, toasted brioche, and an extraordinary saline mineral depth that evolves beautifully over decades.
- When should I drink Krug Clos du Mesnil?
- At least 15–20 years after the vintage date to allow the full complexity to unfold. Younger bottles are vibrant but the real magic happens with extended cellaring.
