    Krug Clos D'Ambonnay: A Virtuoso Soloist
    The House of Krug's unique craftsmanship has revealed a rare Champagne from a remarkable terroir, the Clos d'Ambonnay.

    The intensity of a single plot of Pinot Noir in 2002

    The House of Krug invites you to discover the intensity, individuality and purity of Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 2002: from a single plot, a single grape variety - Pinot Noir - and the harvest of the year 2002.

    Clos d'Ambonnay is a tiny walled plot of 0.68 hectares 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 earliest years.

    Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 2002 is the fifth Champagne from this unique plot of Pinot Noir. The first was created with the harvest of 1995.

    This individually numbered bottle spent at least 14 years in Krug's cellars further developing its depth and complexity.
    After regular tasting and appraisal, it received its cork as Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 2002 in autumn 2015.

    Tasting Notes:
    At first sight, a bright and luminous golden colour redolent of ripe wheat. On the nose, aromas of gingerbread, candied orange peel and hints of hazelnut.

    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.

    Food & Wine Pairing:
    Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 2002 may be enjoyed with flavoursome meat dishes such as a spiced lamb tajine, roasted duck breast or rib of beef. It can also pair wonderfully with the smoky flavours of char-grilled vegetables or chestnuts roasted over an open fire.

    Krug Clos D'Ambonnay 2002 In Essence:
    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. 

    Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 2002 exalts the intensity of a single walled plot of vines (clos in French) in the village of Ambonnay, and of a single grape variety - Pinot Noir - from a single year, 2002. 
    After more than 15 years in Krug's cellars, it reveals an extraordinary finesse. 

    Due its size, Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 2002 Magnum spent at least one year longer on the lees than the 75cl bottle

    Krug Clos D'Ambonnay 2002 is Unique:
    Krug Clos D'Ambonnay 2002 is the fifth Champagne from this unique plot of Pinot Noir. The first was created with the harvest of 1995. 
    The clement circumstances of 2002 gave the year's grapes a rare beauty and unique character, making this year exceptional and giving rise to a generosity of flavours and aromas. 

    The harvest afforded 4,743 bottles and 240 magnums, all individually numbered. 
    As all Krug Champagnes, Clos d'Ambonnay 2002 will continue to gain with the passage of time. 
    The full story of every bottle is revealed online via its Krug iD, the six digits on the back label.

    The Year 2002 At The Clos d'Ambonnay:
    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.

    The harvest of the Clos d'Ambonnay took place on 21 September 2002 and afforded grapes in excellent condition and fine health.
