The 2004 Salon Cuvée S Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Brut is among the most prestigious and sought-after Blanc de Blancs Champagnes. Salon produces only one cuvée, and does so exclusively in selected vintages that the house deems to offer sufficient quality and aging potential. The Champagne is made entirely from Chardonnay grapes from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs.
The 2004 vintage combines the natural freshness and minerality of Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger with the complexity that results from extended aging. After more than twenty years of development, a properly stored bottle is now in a particularly interesting phase. Alongside citrus and white fruit, increasingly complex notes of brioche, nuts, and dried fruit are emerging.
This package contains one 0.75-liter bottle.
Complex and refined, with aromas of citrus, candied lemon, white fruit, and floral nuances. The extended bottle aging adds notes of brioche, toasted nuts, delicate spices, and dried fruit. On the palate, the Champagne is concentrated and precise, with lively acidity, a pronounced chalky minerality, and an exceptionally long finish.
Serve at around 10–12°C. Preferably use large Champagne or white wine glasses to allow the aromas to fully develop. Excellent with oysters, caviar, lobster, scallops, turbot, and other refined fish and shellfish dishes. This Champagne is also excellent for sipping on its own.
Salon was born from the idea of producing Champagne with an uncompromising focus on Chardonnay and the terroir of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The house produces exclusively Blanc de Blancs and does not release a new vintage every harvest year. Only selected vintages are deemed suitable to become Salon. This approach, combined with limited production, has given Salon a special place among the great names of Champagne.
