Salon
Salon is one of Champagne’s icons, and with good reason, as
it is one of the most ageworthy, complex wines made in the region. At its best,
Salon is capable of aging gracefully for decades, in fact, some vintages need a
good 20 years before they begin to drink well! Salon is 100% Chardonnay from
grand cru vineyards in Mesnil. The wine does not undergo malolactic
fermentation, which adds to the already focused, intensely mineral-driven
character that the Mesnil soil gives on its own. Salon is a wine for the
patient, but its pedigree always comes through with time.
