Product Description

Eugène-Aimé Salon dreamt of creating extraordinary Blanc de Blancs Champagne from the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. In 1911, he established Champagne Salon and began crafting the wine of his dreams, Champagne from 100% Chardonnay, with great success. Le Mesnil, located in the Côte des Blancs region of Champagne, produces Chardonnay grapes of superior quality that impart vibrancy and youth to these rare Champagnes. Champagne Salon makes only this wine and only in the very best years. In the entirety of the 20th Century, only 37 vintages were released. This is indeed one of the finest, most unique wines in the world, a true connoisseur’s Champagne.

The 1997 Salon Blanc de Blancs is the ideal Champagne for toasting life’s most special occasions.

Wine Advocate (WA) Review

WA 93
Light yellow with a slow bead. Deeply perfumed nose displays waxy orchard and pit fruit scents, along with toasty lees, woodsmoke and wet stone. Weighty pear and yellow peach flavors are given a bitter edge by fruit skin and quinine qualities, picking up salty minerals on the back end. Finishes with firm grip and powerful echoes of minerals and pear skin. This is already beginning to show complexity.

Wine Spectactor (WS) Review

WS 93
A mix of freshness and maturity, this bubbly offers lemon, toasted brioche and ginger flavors, with a hint of coffee. Builds on the palate, with a mineral note underneath. Sleek and finely textured, almost creamy even, with a crisp, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2025.
