A beautiful Blanc de Blancs from mythic Champagne producer Salon. Pale gold in hue with hints of green. The nose is complex - orange flowers with the merest hint of honey-dew, candied citrus notes, madeleine buns warm from the oven. The palate is inordinately fine and linear with magnificent poise. This is the quintessence of Champagne Salon, suited for hedonistic pairings such as lobster bisque, truffle risotto, caviar, Parma ham and mature parmesan.

The Salon 2002 is part of the esteemed Salon Le Mesnil collection, known for its precise selection of Chardonnay grapes harvested from the grand cru vineyards of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The 2002 vintage is celebrated for its exceptional balance, depth, and vibrant acidity, making it one of the most sought-after vintages of Salon champagne. The Salon 2002 offers a complex array of aromas, including crisp green apple, lemon zest, and brioche, which lead to a lively palate characterized by its mineral-driven freshness, creamy texture, and long, elegant finish. Numerous accolades and high ratings from wine critics, including a potential perfect score from some.

Salon is a prestigious and exclusive Champagne producer located in the Champagne region of France. Founded at the beginning of the 20th century by Eugène-Aimé Salon, it has remained a specialist in producing only one cuvée, the Salon Le Mesnil, from a single grape variety (Chardonnay), a single terroir (Le Mesnil-sur-Oger), and only in exceptional vintages.
