The NY Times Tastes the Krug Clos d'Ambonnay

We first mentioned Krug's new and highly anticipated single vineyard 1995 Clos d'Ambonnay back in the fall, and although it's not due for release until May Eric Asimov for The New York Times got to take a taste and, according to him, it's "worth every penny." So just how many pennies is he giving the nod to? About 300,000 of them, as the Clos d'Ambonnay is expected to sell for between $3000 and $3500 per bottle.

Will you be springing for a bottle of your own? Money or not, good luck getting your hands on it -- there are only 250 cases in existence.

Some airlines, however, are seeking to change that in a major way for their first class passengers -- even to the extent for some of having a chef on board (Gulf Airlines) and serving exotic gourmet dishes.

Among others Singapore Airlines offers a choice of Dom Perignon or Krug champagne, several airlines serve caviar as appetizer, and Malaysia Airlines serves their meals on fine china. Would you (or do you) choose your airline based on the first class meal options?

The 1995 is the first vintage to be released and won't come out in the States until next spring. Crazed Champagne fans may end paying even more than the exorbitant price listed above since there are only 250 cases were made.
