2002 Krug Clos D'Ambonnay Brut Champagne

House of Krug chose to create Krug Clos d’Ambonnay 2002 because the year 2002, marked by the generosity of the yields, succeeded in offering ideal conditions for beautiful grapes, with the promise of revealing the full potential of this walled plot. 

The climate of the year 2002 was generous, consistently mild and relatively dry. The high point of this exceptionally clement year was its long summer of warm days and cool nights that offered the ideal conditions for grape maturation. 

After14 years in Krug's cellars, it reveals an extraordinary finesse.

The House of Krug’s unique craftsmanship has revealed a rare Champagne from a remarkable terroir, the Clos d’Ambonnay. This tiny walled plot of 0.68 hectares is located in the heart of Ambonnay, one of the most distinguished villages for Pinot Noir grapes in Champagne and the main source of Pinot Noir for the House since its very earliest years.

On the palate, the elegant structure reveals a tremendous fullness and intensity enhanced by a very long finish with a final hint of citrus fruits.
