Notas de cata de Salon S Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Brut 2006

First of all, just wait. Once Salon 2006 has been uncorked, leave it a little while, to breathe, to open out. Then, just look at it: its shimmering golden colour, glinting silver and green. The never-ending bubbles, so tiny, setting free the familiar betwitching scents of Salon in its first flush. Notes of white flowers, citrus zest, lightly toasted brioche. Then the glass fills magically with autumnal tones, fresh hazelnuts, praline, dried apricot, ripe yellow fruits. A romantic of the highest order, Salon 2006 embodies the carefree spirit of youth, tempered by experience. And there lies its true enigma and charm. To know restraint but be generous, to combine lightness with solidity.

Notas de cata de "Vinous" sobre la añada 2008

The 2008 Salon is simply extraordinary. Sadly, there will only be 8,000 magnums for the world, as President Didier Depond took the unusual and dramatic decision to bottle the entire 2008 harvest in magnum only, which is a huge decrease over the typical production (when Salon is made) of closer to 60,000 bottles. In the glass, the 2008 is simply extraordinary. Soft and silky, with breathtaking finesse, the 2008 dazzles with a stunning interplay of bright Chardonnay fruit, soaring perfume and crystalline precision. A kaleidoscope of aromas, flavors and textures captivates all the senses. The 2008 remains young and austere, but like so many wines in this great vintage, Salon has an extra dimension of textural depth that keeps it from being austere. It is quite simply one of the most magnificent Champagnes I have ever tasted. The 8,000 magnums will be sold in a special wooden case with 2 bottles each of 2007, 2006 and 2002. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. Disgorged: January, 2019. Antonio Galloni -

Notas de "The Wine Advocate" sobre la añada 2007

There are pure chalk and lemon juice notes intertwined with perfectly ripe, sunny white and yellow-fleshed fruit expressions (even hints of pineapples) on the bright, fresh, subtle but most of all highly elegant and nobly expressive nose. Altogether, that makes the 2007 Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Brut an outstanding Salon that already shows its class without any reservation but also without any compromises to its refined and terroir-driven style. Compared to the powerful and structured 2006 that, from my memories, showed wet chalk flavors but almost no fruit in its youth, the weightless and delicate 2007 is a coolish, elegant and smoky gentleman dressed in a white tie and silk hatùMax Raabe singing Berlin chansons from the 1920s! The performance on the palate is pure yet concentrated, fresh and linear, very elegant and perfectly balanced, but most of all, it is extremely fine and stimulating! There is a chalky-dusty texture in the aftertaste that makes this a great Salon with sublime finesse and elegance. Lovely lemon flavors are displayed on the pure, fresh and concentrated finish. The radiant 2007 Salon is one of the greatest Champagnes I have had from this vintage. 57,000 bottles produced. Tasted from lot L93 SQ 28218 U in November 2018.

Notas de James Suckling sobre la añada 2006

No doubting the pedigree or provenance, this opens with wet chalk and oyster shell notes, and there are aromas of dried yellow flowers and white mushrooms, white chocolate and lemon citrus as well as a refined array of fresh pastry. The palate has power with ripe lemon-drenched peach fruits. This is generous and gives plenty for Salon at this young stage with really succulent fruit. Builds white almond biscuit and toasted spices through the finish. Drink now.

Notas de "The Wine Enthusiast" sobre la añada 2006

This new release from a great vintage for Chardonnay in Champagne is a perfect blanc de blancs, showing a wealth of intensity from the crisp, chalky, mineral tones to the perfumed apple notes. The aromas hint at developing toastiness that adds depth and complexity. The wine is still young and it will age for years. Drink from 2020. Roger Voss

Acerca de la Bodega "Champagne Salon"

Salon Blanc de Blancs es uno de los champagnes más raros y singulares del mundo. Eugène Aimé Salon lo creó hace 120 años en el corazón de la Champagne. Lo elaboró para su consumo y el de sus amigos y sólo lo vendía al famoso restaurante Maxim’s de París. Fue el único cliente que tuvo la Maison Salon durante sus primeros 30 años de vida, que lo servía como champagne de la casa. En el año 1988 se asoció con Champagne Delamotte.

Los Champagne Salón son únicos: una sola variedad de uva, la chardonnay, un sólo terruño, Côte des Blancs, un sólo Cru, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, y una sola añada. De hecho, únicamente, se elabora cuando la añada es excelente y cuando los niveles de azúcar, acidez y frutosidad lo permiten. Hasta ahora únicamente se han elaborado 45 millésimes. Su producción se basa en una finca de 1 ha y 20 pequeñas parcelas más clasificadas 100% Grand Cru, cerca de Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger, que fueron escogidas a principios de siglo por Aimé Salon. Envejecen una media de 10 años en las cavas adquiriendo complejidad y finura antes de aparecer en el mercado.

La vendimia se realiza a mano, seleccionando rigurosamente los racimos. Sólo se utiliza el mosto de la primera prensada con un alto porcentaje de acidez, esencial para la evolución y vivacidad del champagne. Las fermentaciones se realizan en depósitos de acero inoxidable a temperatura controlada para preservar su finura y frescura. La lenta evolución durante los 8-12 años que permanece en la cava antes del degüelle, le proporcionan elegancia, un balance equilibrado, y una excepcional profundidad y una nariz delicada y compleja.

Las únicas cosechas desde 1905 son 1905, 1909, 1911, 1914, 1921, 1925, 1928, 1934, 1942, 1943, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1951, 1953, 1955, 1956, 1959, 1961, 1964, 1966, 1969, 1971, 1973, 1976, 1979, 1982, 1983, 1985, 1988, 1990, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2013 y 2015.

Todas estas peculiaridades hacen de Salon uno de los vinos más exclusivos del mundo.
