Champagne Krug
Clos d'Ambonnay 2008
The Champagne Clos d'Ambonnay by Krug comes from a walled vineyard of just 0.68 hectares located in the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay, among the most prestigious expressions of Pinot Noir in Champagne, where deep chalk soils and a protected position encourage slow and even ripening. This Blanc de Noirs embodies an extreme vision of single plot, single grape variety and single vintage, precisely interpreting the identity of a historic vineyard that the Maison has drawn from since its earliest years, enhancing every nuance through a rigorous approach and meticulous grape selection. Clos d’Ambonnay stands as one of Krug’s rarest and most ambitious expressions, conceived to elevate the purity and depth of Pinot Noir in an authentic and uncompromising reading of the terroir.
This edition, Millésime 2008, represents the seventh interpretation of this project and faithfully conveys the uniqueness of the Clos, thanks to a cool and low-sunlight growing season that allowed for slow ripening and perfectly healthy grapes, harvested on September 24. Vinification and fermentation follow the Maison’s distinctive approach, aimed at enhancing the expressive depth of the vineyard. Vinification and maturation in oak casks are followed, after tirage, by a long ageing on lees for a minimum of 14 years, a key element in defining structure, complexity and precision.
On tasting, Clos d’Ambonnay 2008 shows a bright golden color and an intense aromatic profile, with notes of toasted caramel, cocoa and dark chocolate. On the palate, roundness, energy and elegance emerge, with hints of caramelized apple, candied citrus and velvety lemon. The finish is finely chiselled, persistent and marked by a subtle bitter note that enhances its depth. Production is extremely limited, with only 4,725 bottles.
