This bottle of Krug Clos du Mesnil 1986 was gifted to the consignor nearly twenty years ago by an acquaintance. Recognizing its rarity and significance, he chose to cellar it with great care, preserving it in pristine condition while waiting for the right occasion — one that never came. The bottle has remained untouched in his temperature-controlled cellar ever since. Now, at the encouragement of a friend, he is offering it through Iron Gate, hoping it finds a new home with someone who will truly appreciate its history and rarity.
1986 Krug Clos du Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Champagne from this lot has the following scores - Wine Spectator 98 points. This is the tasting note for 1986 Krug Clos du Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Champagne from Robert Parker - The 1986 Clos du Mesnil, from magnum, is an understated wine that has been very well preserved by the large format. Here, too, I would choose to drink any remaining bottles in the near future.
