Champagne Krug

Clos du Mesnil 1985

In 1971 Rémi and Henri Krug seized the opportunity to purchase six hectares of vines, divided into small plots scattered around Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and it was during a visit to the newly acquired land that they discovered a small walled vineyard called Clos du Mesnil, which still today represents the purest essence of the Krug philosophy. It is the expression of a single Chardonnay born from this one plot of 1.84 hectares, cultivated as a vineyard since the seventeenth century in the heart of one of the most iconic Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs.

This rare edition, Clos du Mesnil 1985, is unveiled once again by the Maison in 2025 to celebrate its fortieth anniversary and tells the story of an extraordinary year, with a memorable conclusion, in which a reduced harvest gave rise to concentrated, fresh and vital wines. Vinification and maturation take place in barrique and, after tirage, a long ageing on the lees follows for around twelve years, succeeded, after dégorgement, by a further rest in the Maison's cellars until 2025, prior to its new release.

On the palate, Clos du Mesnil 1985 reveals a luminous golden colour streaked with orange reflections and a dynamic, elegant profile, where the complexity acquired over time converses with a surprising freshness. It unfolds with great precision, supported by a full and balanced structure that runs through toasted notes, fruity nuances and a delicate bitter touch, leading to a long, intense and perfectly accomplished finish.

Krug

Maison Krug was founded in 1843 from the vision of Joseph Krug, a man guided by an uncompromising philosophy and by the conviction that the true essence of Champagne is pleasure itself. His dream was to offer the very best Champagne possible every year, regardless of climate variations, giving rise to the first Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée. In 1848 he committed his vision to a dark cherry notebook, beginning a tradition of transmission that has reached Olivier Krug, the sixth generation now at the helm of the Maison, and is interpreted by Cellar Master Julie Cavil.

The Maison is still based in Reims today, but its historic sites span the whole of Champagne, from the historic Family House, with its old cellars, to the iconic Clos that represent it. In 2024, after seven years of work, the new Joseph winery was inaugurated, built at the Clos d'Ambonnay. It is an entirely eco-designed facility, HQE certified with an "exceptional" rating, that brings together all winemaking activities in a single space, blending discreetly into the landscape. Here, tradition and contemporary energy coexist in perfect balance.

Krug's philosophy revolves around individuality, where each plot is harvested, pressed and vinified separately, without hierarchy, to capture the distinctive character of each terroir. Every year the Tasting Committee appraises around four hundred wines before the art of blending. The Maison is home to two walled Clos: the Clos du Mesnil, 1.84 hectares in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, known for the purity of its Chardonnay, and the Clos d'Ambonnay, 0.68 hectares, prized for the depth of its Pinot Noir. Two terroirs that well represent Krug's approach, where every plot gives life to a wine of unique character.
