Salon
'S' Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Brut Chardonnay
Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger, Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France

1997 vintage. Pale golden hue. On the nose, lemon (fresh), slightly yeasty, honey suckle and vanilla leaf. Fresh and surprisingly youthful. On the palate, high and fresh acidity, medium minus body, medium alcohol and medium concentration. Great length. Amazing balance and freshness despite age and vintage. Could last for a decade plus. Very impressive.

On the most beautiful beach, with the most decadent French toast, rain and rocks, the lightest brioche, savory raspberry, vanilla poof, sex magic. The light scent of jasmine. It smells like Salon.

Feb 20th, 2016I remember enjoying this more at the Salon tasting in April. Obviously a great bottle of wine here but after that 99 last week the weight of the fruit is a little much. Quite an enjoyable bottle but for my palate I prefer the 99.

1997. From magnum. Frothy, creamy, plush texture with a dry, chalky mineral, citrus, and toasty character. #FancyWine

Nov 11th, 2015What a treat to have a taste of 1997 Salon Blanc de Blancs. So complex: Toast, chalky minerality, spice, cacao, cloves. Fresh yet rich, balanced, with palate coating bubbles. What a gorgeous wine. Merci beaucoup @lamamouniamarrakech. Although maybe sacrilegious not to have Pol Roger in the Churchill Bar? #winelife #pianobar #travel #marrakech #morocco #champagne

Still young as a baby after 18 years of cellaring! Only just developing honey and tertiary aromas. A palpable development in the glass from tight and stern to full-bodied and ample. Orange blossom, yeasty, again honey. A woodied, complex, extremely rewarding after taste. Like another user said it is not about bubbles but about intense aroma and profound flavour. This is clearly an ULTIMATE sensorial experience from a house that has released only 37 editions in 85 years. @WineTraining #salon #champagne #blancdeblancs #1997 @Dusan Bradanovich
