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

his is an incredible and wonderful wine that has united youthful vigor and majestic maturity in an unsurpassable manner. The fresh nose is borne up by aromas that transport you straight into some deep, autumnal forest. The vinosity and mineral richness give the eternal flavor perfect balance. Mature at last!

Good looking normal size bottle, in an excellent condition and level is 4cm ullage below the cork. Colour is and looking healthy, deep, full and mature. On the nose it is intense, open, refined, opulent and generous. The taste is harmonious, vigor, toasty, and average in acidity, full-bodied, with balanced, well-structured, complex structure and mature. On the palate it is layered and has buttery, dried-fruit, creamy, perfumed, honey, tropical fruits and truffles flavours. The finish is long, round, extensive, pure and spicy. This wine is well-rounded, transparent and impressive. I paid around 5k€ + a bottle. Decant at least 15min before tasting. I do recommend.
