Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 2002 is one of the rarest Champagnes of our time, made from 100% Pinot Noir from a tiny walled plot of just 0.68 hectares in the village of Ambonnay. The 2002 harvest was only the fifth release of Clos d'Ambonnay in the history of the house, after the 1995, 1996, 1998 and 2000 vintages. The cuvee is made from the grapes of a single plot surrounded by a stone wall — a clos — which is a great rarity in Champagne. Krug acquired this historic vineyard in 1994, aiming to create the purest and most expressive embodiment of Pinot Noir from Ambonnay. Released in only about 435 cases, Clos d'Ambonnay 2002 remains a true rarity even among the most prestigious Champagnes.
Wine Spectator
Beautifully fragrant, with toast, ground coffee and saffron notes on the nose accenting the palate's concentrated range of baked black cherry, quince paste, lime blossom and crushed hazelnut flavors. Vivid, sculpted acidity and depth of flavor lend tension and muscle to this powerful Champagne, while the finely detailed mousse and seamless integration provide an overall sense of finesse and harmony. Disgorged autumn 2015. Drink now through 2032. 435 cases made.
