Krug Clos d’Ambonnay 1996 Blanc de Noirs
As Tokyo’s streets begin to dazzle with festive illuminations, we are delighted to introduce a champagne perfectly suited for this celebratory season: the exceptional Krug Clos d’Ambonnay 1996 Blanc de Noirs.
This masterpiece is crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes sourced from a mere 0.68-hectare vineyard, Clos d’Ambonnay, which Krug defines as the pinnacle of Pinot Noir terroir. Dedicated to single-vineyard and single-vintage expressions, this extraordinary cuvée epitomizes the house’s unwavering commitment to perfection.
Hailed as the zenith of luxury and opulence in champagne, Krug Clos d’Ambonnay is produced only in the most exceptional vintages when Pinot Noir achieves unparalleled ripeness and eloquence. Since its debut with the 1995 vintage, only 5 releases have followed: 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2006. In nearly 2 decades, such scarcity underscores its exclusivity.
Experience the mesmerizing harmony of astonishing concentration balanced by vibrant acidity, matured over nearly 30 years. Indulge in its symphony of flavors—freshly baked brioche, warm tart, hazelnuts, and luscious apricot confit—culminating in a champagne that redefines elegance and grandeur.
