$3,000 for a bottle of Krug Clos d'Ambonnay (Retail that is)

The first release of this stratospheric champagne, Krug Clos d'Ambonnay, Blanc de Noirs, 1995 brought only around 250 cases.
It goes some way in explaining the retail price of about $3,000 a bottle for Krug's first new product in a while.
Since a chosen few had a chance to put their hands on 12 bottles (each) before the rest of us mortals, that left the whole wide world with about 2,000 bottles (all numbered).
