Salon is a singular Champagne. Everything about this exceptional wine centers on the idea of one: originally the Champagne of one man, Aimé Salon; from one terroir, the Côte des Blancs; one cru, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger; one grape, Chardonnay; and one year—that of a great vintage.
The first vintage dates to 1905. Salon was created by a man devoted to Champagne and captivated by the terroir of Le Mesnil. Guided by unwavering standards, Aimé Salon set out to make the Champagne he wanted to drink: an unprecedented blanc de blancs, first made for his own enjoyment and only shared more widely starting in the 1920s.
This Champagne comes from a one-hectare parcel, “Le Jardin Salon,” along with nineteen other small plots in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger selected by Aimé Salon in the early 20th century. The wines rest in the cellar for an average of ten years before showing their full complexity and finesse.
Salon is produced only in great years.
