1961 Salon Collection 99 points by Richard Juhlin / If I was near tears due to the disappointment of the 1966, the tears came for real in the next flight when this bottle, disgorged at the same time and with exactly the same low dosage, was so lovely that my emotions surged over. In fact, this wonderfully youthful wine is the bottle that reminded me most of the world's top wine - the 1928 Pol Roger Grauves. It was the same improbable contrast ...

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.

The proof that memory and history are important is shown by the bottles in the cellars from nearly all the vintages that have ever been produced at S...

If I was near tears due to the disappointment of the 1966, the tears came for real in the next flight when this bottle, disgorged at the same time and with exactly the same low dosage, was so lovely that my emotions surged over. In fact, this wonderfully youthful wine is the bottle that reminded me most of the world's top wine - the 1928 Pol Roger Grauves. It was the same improbable contrast between the youthful and mature notes. The scent is so unreal, with its euphoric pheromone-reeking perfume enhanced by linden, geranium, lily of the valley, acacia, ginger, fresh tarragon, mint, lime zest and lemon of Sorrento. Crystal-clear brilliance, laser-sharp clarity and delicate precision. Affectionate with faint undertones of vanilla, brioche and toast. A flinty mineral finesse and whirling small pearl necklace bubbles pirouetting on the palate and bursting like caviar grains in the mouth. What is lacking, in comparison to the 1928 Grauves, is a hazy oiliness that may come in twenty years or so. Imagine a 51-year old who can personalise melted snow, late winter and life's rebirth.

Årgångsbetyg: 5 av 5 poäng. På grund av att 61:orna från Bordeaux blivit så berömda kostar champagne från årgången mer än ’59, ’64 och ’66, trots att kvaliteten inte är högre. Krug är kolossal och många champagnesamlare hävdar att ’61 Dom Pérignon som den främsta champagnen de provat. ’61 Billecart-Salmon kom tvåa i Millenieprovningen. Kommentar från provningen: Om jag var nära att gråta av besvikelse över 66:an kom tårarna på riktigt i nästa flight då denna flaska degorgerad samtidigt och med exakt samma låga dosage var så ljuvlig att känslorna svallade över. Här fanns en osannolik kontrast mellan ungdomlighet och snyggt mogna toner. Doften är så overklig med sin euforiska feromonosande parfym upplyft av lindblom, geranium, liljekonvalj, akacia, ingefära, färsk dragon, mynta, limeskal och Sorrentocitron. Glasklar briljans och laserskarp skärpa och precision. Smeksam med svaga undertoner av vanilj, brioche och rostning. Klockren flintig mineralfiness och virvlande små pärlhalsbandsbubblor som dansar balett i gommen och spricker som kaviarkorn i munnen. Tänk att en 51-åring kan personifiera snösmältning, vårvinter och livets pånyttfödelse. Vinet kommer direkt från Salons källare. Degorgerad i oktober’11, dosage 1 gram/liter. Rangordning i provningen: 1:a av 19.
