We invite you to discover the Soloist, the expression of the extreme purity of Krug Clos du Mesnil: from a single plot - Clos du Mesnil - a
single grape variety - Chardonnay - and the harvest of a single year - 2008. This 1.84-hectare (4.5-acre) vineyard has been protected by
walls since 1698. The vineyard is located in the heart of Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of the most iconic villages for Chardonnay in the Champagne region.

Krug Clos du Mesnil 2008 exhibits elegance, length, distinction, and a delicately chiselled structure. It is both silky and inviting.

The year 2008 was one of Champagne's coolest in 14 years, and also one of the region's least sunny in almost half a century. Rainfall was normal throughout the growing season and the summer was dry, followed by a climatic lull prior to harvest. Due to temperatures without any hot peaks, grape maturation was slow and steady. The harvest of the Clos du Mesnil took place on 18, 20 and 21 September 2008, and afforded grapes with intense freshness and elegant expression that made for beautifully structured wines, allowing the
House of Krug to produce 13,160 bottles and 500 magnums (to be presented at a later date, per tasting decision.
