The 2015 Salon is the 45th vintage released by the prestigious Champagne Salon. This vintage blanc de blancs uses grapes sourced from the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs, including a single one-hectare plot known as The Salon Garden. The 2015 Champagne vintage was marked by a summer with record sunshine and drought, but welcome September rains helped the grapes achieve perfect maturity. This has resulted in a Champagne that balances ripeness with a taut, mineral-driven backbone. Expect a profile of white flowers, citrus and a persistent chalky quality, with a structure that promises a long life in the cellar.

Vinous
The 2015 Salon is exquisite. Bright and focused, the 2015 captures a gorgeous stylsitic middle ground between the riper and cooler years. The flavor profile leans towards the more citrus, floral and mineral-driven end of the spectrum typical of cooler years, and yet the wine is also wonderfully open-knit and accessible, with no hard edges and the textural balance that is more common in warmer years. It's a duality that works extremely well. There is a savory undertone typical of the year, but it is a strand in the fabric rather than a dominant characteristic. I left a bottle open for more than a week, during which I observed virtually no oxidation. The 2015 might not be as overtly impressive as some recent years, rather it is a Champagne of cool sophistication and total polish. Unusually, the 2015 is being released ahead of the 2014.

Rare and Beautiful
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.
