Clos du Mesnil is a rare blanc de blancs produced only in exceptional years from a single, tiny 1.84-hectare plot in the heart of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The 1992 vintage is considered to be one of the best releases in the history of the wine. The growing season was perfect, with warm days and cool nights. The grapes were harvested at the perfect ripeness, and the wine was made with great care. The nose reveals a bouquet of ripe citrus fruits, white flowers, toasted almonds, and subtle mineral nuances. The palate is rich, creamy, and layered, with notes of lemon, pear, honey, and a touch of brioche.
