    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Krug, Krug, Clos d'Ambonnay, 1995

    “Honeycomb and crystalline liquid-lemon scented, golden beeswax. A single stream of very fine bulles, kite flying bead. Brioche, croissant, with a wonderful truffle note and spice. On the palate this has unbelievable cut and precision, electric acidity, laser cut, power yet no weight whatsoever. Massive concentration, super bright liquid mineral and concentrated lemon flavours alongside brioche, truffle and glorious red fruits.”

    Thrown in as a ringer, the 1995 Clos d’Ambonnay is a real treat to taste next to the 1996. In particular, tasting both vintages together shows that that 1995 is the more complete of these two first releases of Krug’s single-vineyard Champagne from Ambonnay. Finely-cut fruit, expressive aromatics and exceptional textural finesse are the signatures. This is another fabulous showing from the 1995 Clos d’Ambonnay.
