There's vibrancy and a sense of finesse to this rich and creamy Champagne, which is defined by racy acidity and a streak of chalky minerality. Offers an expansive palate of glazed apricot, oyster shell, toasted almond and spun honey flavors, accented by hints of ground ginger, dried lemon peel and marzipan. The finish is racy and persistent. Drink now through 2030. 5,650 cases made. –AN
Producer
Maison Salon
The history of Salon is unique in Champagne. Unsatisfied with the existing champagnes, in 1911 Eugene-Aimé Salon started to produce his own from the exceptional Mesnil terroir. He worked hard to create the champagne of his dreams: an unprecedented Blanc de Blancs. One word is enough to qualify this champagne: unique! It is produced from a single terroir - the Côte des Blancs, from a single cru - the Mesnil-sur-Oger, from a single grape variety - Chardonnay, and from a single vintage. Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger brings great refinement, freshness, complexity and ageing ability to the wine, even after long years spent in the cellar.
