Krug Clos du Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne 2006

This is a fabulous edition of Clos du Mesnil. The pure chardonnay is magnificent with density and agility at the same time. Apple and mineral notes with cream and biscuit character. Citrus and hints of mirabelle. Chalky, yet stony at the same time. Layered, yet linear and really long. But remains subtle. The acidity is so precise and focuses the flavors and nature. Lasts for minutes. Even better than the 2004. Drink or hold [into the mid-2030s]. Score – 99. (jamessuckling.com, Jan. 26, 2021)
