The most expensive Champagne in the world better be good- and it is. Thanks to Olivier Krug for sharing this incredibly exotic beauty. Only at Krug can such power be delivered so elegantly. Unforgettable with yellow fin cruda and the company.

The 2002 Clos d’Ambonnay is another spectacular Champagne from Krug. In fact, the 2002 may very well be the most sensual Clos d’Ambonnay yet. Opulent, intense and yet light on its feet, the 2002 has it all. Hints of ash, graphite and smoke wrap around a core of rich Pinot fruit in a powerful, riveting wine of the highest level. Chef de Caves Eric Lebel describes 2002 as a perfect growing season. “We had sun we wanted it and rain we needed it,” he told me recently. The Krug team captured everything the vintage had to offer, certainly to a far greater degree than they did with the 2002 Clos du Mesnil or Vintage. Readers who can find the 2002 Clos d’Ambonnay and who can look past the price will experience a seriously phenomenal Champagne. That’s all there is to it. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2018)

Thrilled to taste this, although I preferred the '96 Clos du Mesnil served from magnum alongside it.
