Description

Clos du Mesnil is a rare blanc de blancs produced only in exceptional years from a single, tiny 1.84ha plot in the heart of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The nose is rich yet elegant with delicate but defined citrus fruit, white pepper, griddled nuts and brioche. The palate is a seamless triumph of creamy peach and orange fruit, tensile acidity and an incredibly long, chalk-flecked finish. The 2002 is a profound wine.
