Gault&Millau's review

2023 99/100

From the very first moment you open the bottle, you're in the presence of mature champagne: the color is sumptuous and still very young. The nose is that of grandiose bottles, with notes of mushrooms and damp chalk. Then comes dried fruit, gentian and candied grapes. An unfathomable complexity! The palate is divine, with race, vibrancy and mineral tension that deliver themselves in extraordinary length. The wine evolves with every second, and then offers superb truffle flavors. A Salon in its prime.

Salon

Passion, madness, freedom: these may well have been the driving forces behind Eugène-Aimé Salon's creation of his blanc de blancs champagne. The house, founded in 1920, produces only exceptional years, and the image of Aimé Salon, a free and creative man, continues to guide it. Jardin Salon" covers 1 ha, the other 9 hectares being spread over 19 parcels in the Mesnil-sur-Oger vineyard alone. Single-varietal (Chardonnay), monocrus and monomillésimes, the wines are produced in limited quantities of around 20,000 bottles. Cellared for at least eight years, and sometimes much longer, these extraordinary champagnes acquire race and elegance. A unique champagne and a unique domaine.
