Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 2000

The intensity of a single plot of Pinot Noir in 2000

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.

This individually numbered bottle spent at least 13 years in Krug's cellars further developing its depth and complexity. After regular tasting and appraisal, it received its cork as Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 2000 in autumn 2013.

A talk with Julie Cavil

Krug Cellar Master

2000 was hot, rainy and stormy with the harvest at Krug’s Clos d’Ambonnay taking place on a single day, September 29. It was a bountiful year with astoundingly intense Pinot Noir grapes.
The House of Krug chose to reveal Krug Clos d’Ambonnay 2000 because, from the very first tastings, the Pinot Noir grapes from this enclosed plot glowed with a rare generosity and beauty, revealing delightful balance and character without excess.
The year 2000 thus succeeded in expressing the full potential of this walled plot with true beauty and poise

Tasting notes

A particularly luminous straw-gold colour which shimmers with brightness.
On the nose, aromas of brioche, caramel and spices.
On the palate, a very fresh taste with intesne flavours of tarte tatin, caramel and pastry cream, with a long and slightly lemony finish.

I still remember my first glass of Krug, being overwhelmed by a complexity I did not expect from a Champagne. It was one big crescendo, a feast of highlights, the big finale of a huge fireworks display.
