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...

1964 / Flowering, speedily reaching full bloom stage, then delayed by the cold, ended well. Harvesting began on 16th September in rain which continued for 48 hours, followed by hot and sunny weather. The temperature rose as picking advanced with no notable drop in acidity. Excellent quality.

Written Notes
We dialed it further back with an even older magnum of 1964 Salon. It was another white and wintry Champagne, but it also showed more minerality and white leather chaps. There was cream and sugar in this percolating bubbly, which had a long finish, but it fell a touch short of the sheer pleasure of the Dom P (97M).
SENASTE TASTINGNOTE Inte lika sensuell som 1964 Comtes de Champagne men lika god i en stramare och yngre stil. Ljus, limegrön färg, ihållande minimala bubblor. Stram doft som kräver luftning för att öppna upp det inneboende djup av Salons alla typiska aromer. Sagolikt balanserad med en intensiv attack och syrlighet. Salon i ett nötskal!
Årgångsbetyg: 5 av 5 poäng.
Denna underbara årgång jämförs ofta med ’66:an.’64:orna har idag med få undantag en doft av mintchoklad, bergamottolja och nybakat bröd samt en fyllig knäckig och koncentrerad smak som står på toppen av sin livscykel. Om man vill prova gammal champagne men inte är beredd att chansa, är ’64:orna kanske det säkraste kortet. Den blomstrande prestigechampagne Belle Epoque gjorde debut denna årgång. Dom Pérignon får bli valet i stark konkurrens med Cristal och Heidsick Monopole ’Diamant Bleu’.
Kommentar från provningen: Defekt! Tyvärr en gammal flaska som inte klarat tidens tand. Kan också vara magisk. Speciellt på magnum.
Rangordning i provningen: utan rangordning pga defekt.
