1995 Salon Blanc de Blanc Champagne

The House of Salon makes no other wine, only this vintage tête de cuvée Blanc de Blancs and only in the greatest vintages. For this reason, it is the rarest of Champagnes, having released only 30 vintages in the last 76 years. The 1995 vintage was remarkable in Champagne. The wines show finesse and power, a very fine mousse, aromas of citrus and white flowers, very fresh, clean and elegant.

The House of Salon had its beginning in the late 19th century, when Eugène-Aimé Salon fulfilled his dream of creating "the perfect champagne". Salon was the first Blanc de Blancs Champagne and uses only the cuvée or first pressing from hand-selected grapes to assure the highest acidity, aroma, finesse, ripeness and quality. Salon never puts its wine through malolactic fermentation, thus retaining the crispness, acid backbone and profound depth of flavor that are the hallmarks of Salon. This means, however, that eight to ten years of cellaring are required to harmonize the fruit and acid. Salon ages remarkably for 15-20 years or longer, developing increased complexity. Salon is kept on its yeasts in deep limestone cellars in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger until a specific order is received. Salon is then disgorged by hand for each order. 12% Alc./Vol.
