Note di degustazione
The 1980 Clos du Mesnil had to follow the 1979, not exactly an easy task. Yet the wine shows beautifully. The 1980 is not a blockbuster Clos du Mesnil, but is rather a wine that impresses for its sense of balance, harmony and roundness. Subtle notes of caramel and roasted nuts linger on the finish. While most of the epic wines in this tasting are still young, the 1980 is an excellent choice for drinking today.

I can hardly believe that it's true. Honestly, can a wine from this relatively simple vintage really be this good? Yes—at least my first bottle was fantastic. The similarities with the fabulous '79 were many. The aroma spectrum was basically identical to the legend. Only the cleanness of the '79 surpassed this sensational wine. I just have to taste them together! Now that is done and todays 80 is mature pleasant but not one of the greatest. Very youthful in Düsseldorf 2015. Nov 2015, www.champagneclub.com
Informazioni sul produttore
Krug is a remarkable Champagne House which only makes prestige cuvées. The wines – with their distinctive rich, complex, oxidative style – are some of the region’s best.
