A total of 13,278 bottles and 500 magnums were produced of the Champagne from an ideal year due to the few climatic changes and the perfect ripening of the grapes that resulted in a uniform and generous harvest that began in Clos du Mesnil on September 15. Krug Clos du Mesnil 2002 is the epitome of the purity of Chardonnay, with surprising energy and capacity to balance the tension of the acidity with the silky presence of the fruit, traces of grapefruit that accompany notes of white peach, orange blossom and fresh mint together with an alluring touch of acacia honey. The mouthfeel is pulsating and airy, intense and profound, with notes of honey brioche, star anise and a slight exotic vein that softens the tension on the palate. Precision and purity, joyful contrasts that appear in generous splendor inside a crystal bud of pleasure.
