The 2013 Salon is a huge wine. Dense and explosive, the 2013 possesses almost shocking textural richness for a young Salon. It offers a perfect example of the vintage in the COtes de Blancs, a year in which ripeness and acids were both elevated. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, mint and white pepper explode onto the palate. Bright saline notes pull it all back together on the finish. Dosage is 4.5 grams per liter.

2013 is a cool, late-ripening vintage in Champagne, defined by an October harvest in cool but sunny conditions. With a dosage of 5.5 grams per liter, the 2013 Brut Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil possesses a complex, fruity bouquet mingling aromas of orchard fruit with notions of lemon oil, exotic fruits, spring flowers, almond and hints of menthol and buttery pastry. Full-bodied, rich and dense, with lively acids, it’s more complex and incisive than the 2002 and exhibits similar power to the 2012 at this early stage. Despite what was a challenging growing season for some producers, this is a superb Salon with a long, resonant finish.
95 Wine Spectator
A graceful Champagne, with pleasing plushness to the finely detailed mousse, revealing a delicate honeyed overtone to the notes of apricot tart, lemon curd, white blossoms and smoked almond. Shows a rich, underlying streak of chalky minerality that emerges to drive the lacy finish. Drink now through 2038. 3,800 cases imported.

Maison Salon
La storia di Salon è unica in Champagne. Insoddisfatto degli Champagne esistenti, nel 1911 Eugene-Aimé Salon cominciò a produrre il proprio Champagne dall’eccezionale zona Mesnil. Lavorò alacremente per creare lo Champagne dei suoi sogni: un Blanc de Blancs mai visto prima. Basta una parola per qualificare questo Champagne: unico! Proviene da una singola regione – Côte des Blancs, da un unico cru – Mesnil-sur-Oger, da una sola varietà d’uva - Chardonnay, e da un solo millesimo. Il Chardonnay Mesnil-sur-Oger si caratterizza per la grande raffinatezza, freschezza, complessità e costanza nelle sue caratteristiche, anche dopo lunghi anni passati nella cantina.
