Salon
'S' Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Brut Chardonnay
This vintage given me trouble in the past, but this one is different. The enduring precision and the developing richness are almost congruent.

4 people found it helpfulJul 25th, 2014Salon just the name alone stands for rare -collectible - authentic Champagne. This bottle of 1995 did not disappoint in fact I believe it's the greatest salon I have ever had. Are used to sell salon back in the day vintages 82 - 85 - 90 - this one is only made in select vintages & 1995 is superb. It's features it's patented laserbeam styling from Le Mesnil. The nose was focused on citrus / Lemon curd and you could smell the chalk & limestone that protected the freshness of this acid driven style for the last 20 years. there's no brioche there's no butter or Caramell in salon it's pure acid with a right hook of lemon curd and it is spectacular and unrelenting and i'm not lovable and less you enjoy the pleasure of the Payne.
