Disgorged in March 2021, Salon 2012 mesmerizes with its scintillating aromatic brilliance and exceptional purity. The nose reveals layers of white fruits, citrus zest, and spring flowers, accompanied by a delicate hint of spice. With aeration, subtle pastry-like notes add complexity to the already elegant profile, while the essence of citrus remains at the heart of the aroma. On the palate, the champagne exhibits a dynamic and lively energy, flowing through its crystalline and elongated structure, imparting a somewhat atypical character for Salon. Undoubtedly, this vintage stands out for its supreme elegance and remarkable subtlety, surpassing the excellence of other recent releases.

Vinous
The 2012 Salon is absolutely gorgeous. It offers a beguiling mix of radiance and energy that seems to capture a little bit of elements of some of its older siblings. The expression of fruit is radiant and quite overt, but without reaching the tropical exuberance of the 2006. In shape, the 2012 recalls the mid-weight style of 2007 with the freshness of 2008, but not quite the youthful austerity of that wine. If that sounds like an appealing combination, well it is. The 2012 Salon is all harmony and class.Antonio Galloni1st November 2021

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.
