Salon 1979

HED84569 75cl 12%
Salon is the iconic champagne house located in the village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs region. Salon is known for producing exclusively Blanc de Blancs cuvées from Chardonnay grapes grown in their Grand Cru vineyards. The 1979 vintage had ample time to develop in the bottle, showing a complex and mature profile. On the nose, expect to find aromas of toasted brioche, ripe apples, honey and a hint of nuttiness. The palate is rich and creamy, with flavours of baked pears, lemon zest, and almonds, balanced by a backbone of bright acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish.

Salon

One of the world's most famous prestige cuvée, the first vintage of Champagne Salon was 1905, although it wouldn't be until the 1920s that these wines were finally released to the public. An unparalleled Blanc de Blancs, Salon comes from a single hectare plot and nineteen other smaller plots in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and the wine is only prouced in the very finest vintages. As a result, the 20th century saw only 37 bottlings of this fabled Champagne.

 Every bottle of Salon is held at the estate cellars for 10 years before release. The result is a highly complex, layered Blanc de Blancs Champagne which has the capacity to age for decades.
