Salon is the iconic champagne house located in the village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs region. Salon is known for producing exclusively Blanc de Blancs cuvées from Chardonnay grapes grown in their Grand Cru vineyards. The 1979 vintage had ample time to develop in the bottle, showing a complex and mature profile. On the nose, expect to find aromas of toasted brioche, ripe apples, honey and a hint of nuttiness. The palate is rich and creamy, with flavours of baked pears, lemon zest, and almonds, balanced by a backbone of bright acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish.

Salon 1979 is a stellar example of the finesse, complexity, and elegance that defines the Salon Le Mesnil collection. Produced in a year that was declared a vintage for Salon, this champagne exhibits a precise balance of acidity and minerality, with a depth of flavor that is both rich and refined. The 1979 vintage is highly praised for its exceptional aging potential and its capacity to express the nuanced characteristics of the Le Mesnil-sur-Oger terroir. The Salon 1979 boasts a bouquet of vibrant citrus, green apple, and white flowers, underlined by a minerally edge. On the palate, it displays a remarkable complexity, with layers of brioche, almond, and a hint of honeyed richness, leading to a long, crystalline finish.
