パーカーポイント: 94点 予想される飲み頃:2013 - 2028 Krug’s 2000 Brut Blanc de Blancs Clos du Mesnil represents the most recent incarnation of a nowadays insanely expensive bottling from a 4.5-acre enclave that they have made legendary with dedicated bottlings beginning with 1979, and which - unlike this house’s “regular” Vintage Brut - is “declared” nearly every year. A striking aromatic evocation of sea breeze, with oyster and mussel shells corresponds with surprising closeness to the initial aromatic impression made by Krug’s “regular” 2000 vintage bottling. But here, gingerbread and candied lemon rind, vanilla and heliotrope emerge from behind the maritime veil, anticipating the ripeness accompanied by transparency to mineral nuances that is revealed on an infectiously juicy and texturally ultra-refined palate. The interaction of maritime mineral, lemony citric, floral and spice elements carries with subtlety and impressive persistence. This is frankly a bit youthfully austere, and I imagine that it will take another year or two for it to begin to tip its full hand; but there is little doubt that nature dealt it a lucky set of cards. It should merit following for at least 12-15 years. (1113, The Wine Advocate 30th Nov 2013)
石垣に囲まれたブドウ畑でシャルドネの魅力を最大限に引き出した別格のシャンパーニュ
シャンパーニュでクロの畑の中で最も有名な「クリュッグ・クロ・デュ・メニル」。多くのクリュッギストがいる中でも、ロマネ・コンティとほぼ同じ面積の畑から生まれるクロ・デュ・メニルは特別な存在です。メニル・シュール・オジェ村の中心に位置する石垣に囲まれたブドウ畑でシャルドネの魅力を最大限に引き出した別格のシャンパーニュです。
