Description

Salon 1985 is a legendary wine. For many it represents the epitome of elegance, precision and sophisticated indulgence. The nose is intense with apple, raisin, candied fruits, hazelnut and vanilla. The palate is broad yet incisive and delivers creamy waves of rich apple, toast and flinty minerality with an exceptionally long finish flecked with nutty savouriness.

About this wine

The Salon 1985 is a remarkable vintage of the Salon Le Mesnil, praised for its extraordinary depth, complexity, and aging potential. Made from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from the grand cru vineyard of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, this vintage stands out for its delicate balance, fine bubbles, and nuanced flavors ranging from citrus and white flowers to brioche and mineral notes. With its limited production and exceptional quality, the Salon 1985 is a testament to the house's dedication to craftsmanship and excellence in champagne making. A deep and complex champagne exhibiting flavors of citrus, white flowers, freshly baked brioche, and a distinctive minerality. Its fine bubbles and long finish highlight its exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
