Salon is a pinnacle of elegance and precision – a rare Champagne crafted from an exceptional vintage, made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes sourced from the prestigious Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs region. The vintage was marked by ideal growing conditions, allowing the grapes to reach perfect ripeness while retaining remarkable freshness.
The result is a Champagne of extraordinary complexity, minerality, and finesse, embodying the pure philosophy of the House of Salon – one village, one grape, one vintage. On the nose, it reveals aromas of white flowers, candied citrus peel, honey, and freshly baked brioche.
The palate follows with refined layers of bergamot, almond, and chalky minerality, leading to a long, vibrant, and crystalline finish. It is both rich and precise, with impressive aging potential.
Salon pairs beautifully with raw shellfish, lobster, delicate seafood dishes, and game birds with light sauces. This is not a Champagne for everyday occasions – it is meant to be experienced, savored during life’s most memorable moments.
Producer
Champagne House Salon stands as a true icon in the world of wine – a symbol of prestige, rarity, and unwavering dedication to quality. Founded in the early 20th century by visionary Eugène-Aimé Salon, the house established a clear philosophy: to create the perfect Champagne using only Chardonnay grapes, from a single vineyard, a single village, and a single vintage. Salon is produced only in the most exceptional years, with an average of just four vintages per decade.
Over the entire 20th century, only 37 vintages were released, making it one of the rarest and most sought-after Champagnes in the world. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is aged on the lees for around ten years in Salon’s cellars before release – resulting in a Champagne of remarkable complexity, elegance, and depth. Salon is not just a Champagne – it is a philosophy, an art form, and a tradition bottled with precision. With every vintage, the house reaffirms its reputation as a producer of uncompromising quality, creating wines that captivate both connoisseurs and the most discerning collectors.
