Salon 1997
Created in 1911, Champagne Salon is the creation of one man, a champagne connoisseur enchanted then seduced by the terroir of Le Mesnil.
Eugène-Aimé Salon, a singular personality and bon vivant, succeeded in inventing the champagne of his desires: an unprecedented Blanc de Blancs.
Unique for more than one reason, the single cru Salon is the precise embodiment of a fragment of unequalled nature. An exceptional success
Wine lovers know that drinking Champagne Salon is to offer oneself an ineffable journey of intense and rare sensations, much like scaling the summits of grace and sensual pleasures, marked by an uncompromising honesty. A bedazzlement. An exclusive privilege.
Tasting notes:
Salon 1997: A sensuality of silk.
The wine is pearlescent. A pale, lustrous gold with a fine, lively mousse. The nose is complex yet ethereal. Wonderfully refined, it is intriguing and enticing. Its minerality complemented by hints of white flowers, acacia and hawthorn.
A salty note enhances aromas of bread crust, brioche and the merest hint of green apple and hazelnut. The palate is quintessentially pure, the very epitomy of balance and restraint.
Exuberant on attack the mousse becomes more of a caress whilst bubbles dance playfully on the palate; its delicate allure emulating the sensuous grace of a silk veil at dawn.
Mastery character, elegance and bright vitality Complex indeed.
Salon 1997: It is difficult to encapsulate where so many complementary and contradictory elements come together in such harmony. The finesse of silk, persistence, innate depth and power are allied to a lightness of touch feminine and seductive, voluptuousness without bounds.
