Average Critic Score: 95.0/100 based on 2 critic reviews
Clos du Mesnil is Krug's walled Chardonnay vineyard in the heart of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and the single-vineyard blanc de blancs made from it is one of the most sought-after Champagnes in the world, produced only in years the house deems worthy. The 1992 Krug Clos du Mesnil Blanc de Blancs is an unusual and exotic expression of the site, now showing the truffle, coffee and roasted-almond complexity of full maturity. It earned 96 points from Antonio Galloni (Vinous), who found plenty of power and reserve for further ageing, and 94 points from Wine Spectator.
Showing some maturity, with truffle, coffee and roasted almond aromas and flavors, this is dense and satisfying, with whole-grain bread accents and fine length - Wine Spectator (94 pts)
Decant or give it time in the glass; this is a Champagne that opens with air.
Critic Reviews
96 Points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
“The 1992 Clos du Mesnil require quite a bit of air to open up. It is an unusual Clos du Mesnil marked by elements of botrytis that lend it an exotic air. There is plenty of power and the reserve to age well for many more years.”
94 Points - Wine Spectator
“Showing some maturity, with truffle, coffee and roasted almond aromas and flavors, this is dense and satisfying, with whole-grain bread accents and fine length. There's a firm structure, but it doesn't match the '95 for finesse and class. Drink now through 2010. 200 cases imported.”
