Lot 494 SALON
Salon is a small champagne house on the Côte de Blancs which was founded by Eugène Aimé Salon in the early 20th century, and produces what connoisseurs consider to be the finest Blanc de Blancs. Salon is produced in very limited quantity and only in excellent years (an average of three vintages a decade) from over 40 year old vines in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger which is one of the greatest Grand Crus of the Côte de Blancs. The first commercial vintage was in 1921. Salon is made from 100 Chardonnay and has a delicate flavour when young, that develops additional complexity with age with notes of coconut, vanilla and honey. 1971 was an exceptional vintage, as Michael Broadbent wrote in his book Vintage Wine, "Now here is a vintage! More than good, at its best the epitome of elegance".
