Lot #299. Krug Blanc de Blancs Clos du Mesnil Brut 1985

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Score: 99 RJ.
"The height of elegance! The '85 reminds me of the '79, but I wonder if this wine doesn't reach even greater peaks. What balance and indescribable finesse! Sadly it's rare these days that I become so awestruck by a wine that I go through an almost religious experience. This wonderful, lime-fruity Champagne with its polished butteriness and sparkling clarity succeeded in inducing that feeling three days in a row during a tour with Henri Krug in November, 1995. A full and perfect wine." Richard Juhlin, The Richard Juhlin Champagne Club, Nov 2015
Provenance: The Cisalpine Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $3,000
