The Salon Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs 2013 is the most recent offering from the iconic Champagne producer, Salon. Established in 1905, Salon was the pioneering Maison to create a Blanc de Blancs, and this latest release marks only the 44th in its nearly 120-year history. The wine has garnered acclaim from critics, with Antonio Galloni of Vinous awarding it a remarkable 99 points and describing it as "the most robust and densely textured young Salon" he has ever encountered. James Suckling also commended its sophistication, offering a lengthy, textured experience, and granted it 97 points.

The Salon 2013 is a testament to the exceptional Blanc de Blancs Champagne from Maison Salon. Crafted solely from Chardonnay grapes from the revered Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, this vintage is celebrated for its elegance, complexity, and depth. The 2013 vintage showcases a perfect balance of freshness and maturity, characterized by its vibrant acidity and layered flavours, embodying the quintessence of Salon's dedication to excellence. The Salon 2013 offers a bouquet of vibrant citrus, green apple, and white flowers, followed by layers of brioche, almond, and mineral undertones. The palate is rich and complex, with a persistent effervescence and a long, elegant finish.

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.
