Now pouring: Krug Clos du Mesnil 2008

Bennelong is offering a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity for Champagne enthusiasts with an extraordinary by-the-glass experience: Krug Clos du Mesnil 2008, one of the world’s most revered and highly sought-after Champagnes.

Hailing from a single, walled vineyard in Mesnil-sur-Oger, Krug Clos du Mesnil is crafted exclusively in exceptional years, and the 2008 vintage is celebrated as one of the greatest in modern Champagne history. Its delicate aromas of orange madeleine and signature menthol notes lead to a palate bursting with layered citrus flavours, from grapefruit skin to candied nuances, with a graceful, lingering finish.

This exclusive experience coincides with Fink’s Wine Director, Amanda Yallop, being welcomed as a ‘Krug Ambassade’, a distinction reserved for hospitality leaders who embody the house’s pursuit of craft and serve Krug with an exceptional level of knowledge and care. She is the latest sommelier in Australia to hold this title.

“Bennelong is the only place in the world right now where you can have the unforgettable, perhaps even once-in-a-lifetime, chance to experience Krug Clos du Mesnil 2008 by the glass.

It’s been described as the greatest Champagne of the modern era, and we’re excited to extend this opportunity to Krug Lovers and Bennelong patrons in the coming weeks.”

— Amanda Yallop, Fink’s Wine Director.

 

Krug Clos du Mesnil 2008 is now available by the glass exclusively at Bennelong. Under the sails of the Sydney Opera House, guests can savour this rare Champagne alongside Bennelong’s award-winning cuisine.
