Champagne Salon
Salon 2013

Salon 2013, insolent beauty.

Only the 44th release in its 120 year history, Salon 2013 has arrived like some Greek god, with its chiselled profile and long limbs lithe and perfectly sculpted, primed to conquer our hearts and palates.

Salon is defined by its singularity, in so many ways: in its very creation, as the champagne of one man, Aime Salon; as a single terroir, the Côte des Blancs; a single Grand Cru, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger; a single grape variety, Chardonnay; and a single year, that of a great vintage.

2013 is distinctive for its extraordinary stature, which will forever set it apart. On approach, its fine features seem to crystallise; its line and curve coming into focus, drawing us in with their beauty.

Yet Salon 2013 was borne of one of the most thankless years, climatically speaking: one of excessive cold and rain; and heat too - in the end.

September brought decidedly autumnal conditions, bringing the grapes slowly to full ripeness in early October.

Hope was restored; harvests resulting from extreme conditions often produce the finest vintages in Champagne. And what a result! Splendour, intensity, elegance: who could have guessed the latent power contained within 2013?

Ten years of cellaring were required for this Proteus to develop its impressive physique and insolent beauty. White blossom, linden flowers, jasmine and bergamot zest form its bouquet, laced with the classic minerality of Le Mesnil. The magnitude of the terroir emerges, both subtle and profound.

At once rich and long, the palate shows perfect balance, its power contained. A natural masterpiece, wrought by time; sculpted slowly, gently, and with infinite care.



Winery

Champagne Salon

Salon is a small producer of Champagne Blanc de Blancs, well appreciated by the critic. Salon, together with Delamotte, is part of the Laurent-Perrier Group since 1989. It is considered one of the best Champagne on the market. The company Salon was founded by Aimé Salon Eugène in the 20th century. Salon was convinced that the Chardonnay grapes from the region  Mesnil-sur-Oger were able to produce wine with high standards of fineness and elegance, without needing Pinot Noir or Meunier. Shortly after, with the Vintage 1921, Salon began to produce a unique lot of Chardonnay, which was only offered to friends. After the depart of  Eugène Aimé Salon in 1943; his sister inherited the company, which was later sold to Laurent-Perrier in 1989. Salon is also part of the Maison Salon-Delamotte. Like all Blanc de Blancs, it is produced with Chardonnay grapes, grown in Mesnil-sur-Oger, classified as Grand Cru, where another famous property is located, Jardin de Salon. This parcel is only one hectare large, which means that grapes used to produced Champagne Salon are bought from 20 different wine growers within the territory of Mesnil-sur-Oger. The vines have an average age between 25 and 40 years. This Champagne is produced with the brand Salon, exclusively in exceptional years, more or less 4 times every ten years. When Salon is not produced, grapes are used to produce Champagne under the brand Delamotte. The Champagne Salon firstly ferments in steel tanks and then rests in bottles with yeasts for over 10 years before it is sold.
