"Deep gold. Very deep-flavoured – chestnuts? – on the nose. Extremely persistent. Massive dimension; the bubbles almost seemed to struggle to escape. Still remarkably fresh with masses of aromatic development. Big, bold and bright."
Rating: 19/20

Krug Clos d’Ambonnay was born from the fifth generation of the Krug family, Rémi and Henri Krug’s quest to pay tribute to the Pinot Noir grapes of Ambonnay, a terroir dear to the Maison, while remaining loyal founder Joseph Krug’s plot-by-plot approach to winemaking.
Their search lasted seven years, until they discovered the Clos d’Ambonnay in 1991, a tiny vineyard surrounded by protective walls since 1766. Purchased in 1994, they crafted the first Krug Clos d’Ambonnay champagne in 1995, revealed 12 years later in 2007.
The House of Krug invites you to discover the intensity, individuality and purity of Krug Clos d’Ambonnay 2000: from a single plot, a single grape variety – Pinot Noir – and the harvest of the year 2000.
Clos d’Ambonnay is a tiny walled plot of 0.68 hectares located in the heart of Ambonnay, one of the most distinguished villages for Pinot Noir grapes in Champagne and the main source of Pinot Noir for the House since its earliest years.
Krug Clos d’Ambonnay 2000 is the fourth Champagne from this unique plot of Pinot Noir. The first was created with the harvest of 1995.
"Gorgeous fresh colour with hints of emerald and buttercup yellow, and minuscule bubbles across the glass. The palate has some serious luxury with the mousse creamy across the tongue, but there is cocoa and buttery Brazil nut flesh, the weight filling the mid-palate before a precision to the acidity that scythes through something like the 1996, the little toast notes filling underneath. A baby, but the components need some time to knit together."
