Salon
'S' Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Brut Chardonnay
Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger, Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France
Really pure and light and lifted. Soft floral notes and a steely spine underpinning it. Long and tense and perfectly balanced with a purity and deftness that is gorgeous. The best 96 I’ve had from them.

A lunch for the folks who have been extremely generous and influential in my wine journey. Salon always needs 20 + years from vintage. As expected no where near maturity.A shy nose of apple , pear and flint. On the palate more round than linear. Acidity is very good but not as assertive as some previous vintages .A coiled spring.

Aug 7th, 2023Light and pretty on the nose. Lifted and precise fruit. Hints of lemon, white flowers, limestone. Soft edges and pretty. Seamless and polished.

Fine mousse. Beautifully even and surprisingly accessible now. Steely spine with light citrus. Very polished and fine. Really detailed and delicious.
