The Story

This Champagne is produced from a one-hectare parcel owned by Salon: "Salon’s garden", and from 19 other smaller parcels in Mesnil-sur-Oger, chosen by Aimé Salon at the beginning of the century. The wines are cellared in the bottle for an average of 10 years, gaining in complexity and finesse.

Written Notes

A leaking bottle that looked really messy showed a wine that was highly enjoyable and fudgy, as well as caramelised with an animal weight and tonnees of varnish and leather. Completely without madeirisation. It seems that the destructive forces of time do not break a Salon at all.

TASTINGNOTE En läckande flaska som såg riktigt risig ut gav ett vin som var ytterst njutbart och knäckigt med animalisk tyngd, fernissatoner och läder. Årgångsbetyg: 2 av 5 poäng. Frosten orsakat särskilt svåra skador på vinstockar i flera delar av Champagne likt på många håll i hela Europa. Från den 8 oktober klarades skörden av snabbt och effektivt. Kommentar från provningen: Helt utan madeirisation. Det verkar som tidens nedbrytande krafter inte rör Salon i ryggen. Köpt på e-bay av alla ställen! Rangordning i provningen: 13:e av 19.
