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...

Wine Information

1988 / After a mild and particularly rainy year, dry months alternated with wet months until ripeness.
The vegetative period of the vine was thus favoured by normal rainfall and rather high pressure. Harvesting took place in good weather, apart from a few scattered showers. Although words like "commonplace" and "average" were often employed to illustrate the development of 1988, the wines surprised by their strong and assertive personality. 1...

Vuosikerta 1988

CHAMPAGNE: From this year, the most classic and refined champagnes were produced. Champagnes are long-lived and mature slowly to their peak.

Winter and spring were fairly mild. Inflorescences began in good weather in June. Already during the next month, the cloud masses swarmed to the Champagne province. Finally, the sky broke right before harvest. The harvest remained smaller than in the previous year. Even though the weather was unstable,...

We started with a superlative magnum of 1988 Salon which was pretty much perfect in every which way. It had a rich nose full of vanilla aromas that Big Boy quickly gave 98 points. It was long and scintillating with a nice sweetness and powdered goodness to it. This was rock star stuff with great acidity and still on the upswing. In the end, I agreed with Big Boy, which is always highly recommended (98M).!

1988 Salon 92 points (92) Usually, it tends to perform significantly better than this. Although we opened two bottles, the wine showed itself to be a bit too old this time. Normally a safe bet and delightful at all ages.

Salon 1988/ Bright, pale yellow colour with vivid small bubbles. Extremely elegant and complex developing nose. Walnuts, buttery aromas with cream and ripe pear aromas. Crisp acidity with strong mineral structure form a backbone to this delicious champagne which has expressive mousse and creamy intense taste and long walnutty finish. Beautifully aged elegant wine with great potential for further ageing.

Salon 1988 How spectacular the aromatics might be, it is still not what Salon is about. This, as with all great Salons, is about precision, harmony, refinement and grace. The 1988 has developed a superbly intense nose where the hallmark fresh almonds are now toasted, loads of minerality, salted lemon peel and white orchard fruit. The palate delivers complete pleasure for the ones not seeking explosions but subtlety. Actually to speak of different aromas is not very interesting when it’s the absolute stunner of structure that steels the show. Completely seamless, smooth and very very very long. A great Salon, still young. Drink 2016-2048 98p.

TASTINGNOTE Det tog tjugo år för detta vin att börja närma sig mognad. Nu är den finlemmade gräddigheten ersatt av stor nötig och bred halmliknande mogen äppelfrukt. Vinets längd och renhet är dess främsta tillgång på fortsatt resa in i framtiden. Årgångsbetyg: 5 av 5 poäng. Den trilogi som inleddes med 1988 saknar motstycke i champagnehistorien. Det är med fråga om stil än kvalitet när man väljer sin favorit bland de tre åren. Kommentar från provningen: Brukar prestera betydligt bättre än så här. Trots att vi öppnade två flaskor visade vinet en lite för gammal sida denna gång. Normalt sätt ett säkert kort och ljuvlig i alla åldrar. Rangordning i provningen: 7:a av 19.
