Incredible freshness and tightness with fantastic acidity and minerality. Full-bodied, compacted and intense. Flinty! Then light yeast and bread dough. Superb. In suspended animation!
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.
