Krug, Clos du Mesnil 1996 (1 BT)

Krug, Clos du Mesnil 1996

In original coffret within the original outer carton

In 2020, quite a deep colour now. Then lemon brioche on the nose and lemon toast on the palate. There is a sweet fullness to it, combined with 1996 acidity and real zestiness. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

Provenance

A small part of a much larger collection, this has been assembled meticulously for over 20 years. Many were purchased from Sotheby’s, including single-owner sales such as “Direct from the Cellars of Paul Jaboulet Aine” in 2012; “Wines from the Cellar of The Fux Restaurant” in 2017 and “The Tran-scend-ent Sale” in 2019. Others were mainly purchased on release from reputable UK wine merchants. All wines were professionally stored in a professional temperature-controlled cellar before the sale.
