Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 1995
Of all the wine world’s luxury brands, Krug is perhaps the most glittering. No expense is spared in its production, though the techniques used are in fact remarkably artisanal, including fermentation in small, old wooden casks and, as Henri Krug once told me, they have “no idea” whether the malolactic fermentation takes place or not. (It is not provoked, but happens anyway) Time is of the essence: the overall ageing cycle is the best part of a decade here, with all wines being aged for at least six years sur-pointes (upended, after the ‘ordinary’ ageing period that follows the second fermentation is included). more »
Tasting Notes
To quote Directeur, Olivier Krug "The House of Krug today reaches a landmark in history, and it is my privilege to share a secret we have guarded for so long" "More than two decades after Krug Clos du Mesnil, we are about to release another rare and exceptional champagne- a champagne whose character is so remarkable, it had to be Krug. This new Krug is a celebration of time, of savoir-faire, and one of our best-loved terroirs, revealed now in its fullest, most intense expression. The House of Krug is proud to present Clos d'Ambonnay."
Henri and Remi Krug have wanted to produce a single-vineyard vintage Blanc de Noirs almost since they started to produce their Blanc e Blancs from Clos du Mesnil. The journey was to find a jewel vineyard of comparable quality. The village of Ambonnay was no surprise as the Krug family identified Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Ambonnay as the finest sources of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir since the 1840's, and both have played important roles in Krug Grand Cuvee ever since. Henri and Remi's grandfather referred to Ambonnay as "the Chateau Margaux of Champagne."
The Krug's were already purchasing fruit from Clos d'Ambonnay in the 1980's when they tried to acquire it for themselves-achieving their goal in the mid-nineties. The vineyard is a mere 1.69 acres (a third of Clos du Mesnil) with only 250 cases produced from their first vintage in 1995. Put in perspective the production of Romanee Conti is double and Le Pin- four times the volume of Clos d'Ambonnay.
Clos d'Ambonnay is bound to become a wine of legend with only the very rare few ever being able to try, let alone possess.

Strong and long finish, and at the same time very mild and subtle texture with floral bouquet. Perhaps the best way to describe this champagne would be this: "It is as soft and mild as pure water, but with the taste of true champagne that is most powerful ever" some photos: http://blog.naver.com/kosmose7/90030834292
