Salon, Le Mesnil--Vintage 1982
1 dozen bottles per lot
SALON Champagne Salon makes no other wine other than this rare vintage, tête de cuvée Blanc de Blancs. First comes the hyper-selection of grapes: Much of Salon's extraordinary style - perfumed nose, exquisite balance, multiple layers of flavor, firm structure, tiny mousse, long-finish, etc. are determined by the grapes from three distinct micro-regions in this appellation. Salon makes the wine only in the greatest of years, when the grapes develop the ideal combination of rich fruit, sugar and high acidity. Salon uses only the first pressing, gaining the highest acidity and best quality of the grape. Salon never puts its wine through malolactic fermentation. This retains the refreshing crispness and profound depth of flavor that are the hallmarks of Salon. Salon, Le Mesnil--Vintage 1982 In two six-bottle original cartons "It took a few years before the '82 really found itself. Now it is wonderfully harmonious, if a little uneven from bottle to bottle. A classic Salon with brilliant acidity and an exceptionally dry aftertaste of lanolin and butter." Richard Juhlin, Aug 2003, 4000 Champagnes 1 dozen bottles per lot
