Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 1996","description":"\u003cp\u003eKrug Clos d’Ambonnay 1996 is one of Champagne’s rarest treasures: a single-vineyard Blanc de Noirs crafted entirely from Pinot Noir grown in a tiny 0.68-hectare walled parcel in Ambonnay. First produced by Krug in 1995 and released after more than a decade of cellar aging, it reflects the house’s uncompromising pursuit of precision, depth, and extraordinary terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a luminous golden hue that already hints at maturity and richness. The nose is layered and expressive, with aromas of honeyed gingerbread, candied orange peel, and a subtle hazelnut note that speaks to its long time on lees.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is elegant yet immensely concentrated, with a finely built structure and impressive breadth. Its intensity is balanced by finesse and a long, persistent finish edged with citrus lift. While already beautifully evolved, Clos d’Ambonnay 1996 still has the capacity to hold and develop further complexity over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos d’Ambonnay comes from a single enclosed vineyard in the heart of Ambonnay, one of Champagne’s most prized Pinot Noir villages, where the chalk-rich terroir lends both power and refinement. The parcel is harvested by hand, and the wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir before spending more than 12 years in Krug’s cellars, where extended aging on the lees builds texture, depth, and remarkable finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Champagne pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as lobster, roast poultry, truffled risotto, or delicate mushroom-based plates, and it can also stand alongside fine cured meats or aged hard cheeses. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a brief moment in the glass will help the wine open fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChampagne Krug is one of the most revered houses in Champagne, founded in 1843 and celebrated for its meticulous craftsmanship, layered style, and commitment to expressing individual vineyard sites.
