🍾A Fantastic Parcel of Salon 2007 & 2012

Salon is undoubtedly considered to be the top echelon of Champagne by many wine connoisseurs around the world, yet it is so rare that not many people have had the chance to taste this quintessential Champagne. A tiny house on the Cote des Blanc, they make just only one Cuvee with 100% of its Chardonnay grapes coming from the Grand Cru-class Le Mesnil vineyard in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and is only made in the best vintages (the other vintages go into Champagne Delamotte); and is aged for relatively longer periods of up to a decade in the bottle before they are released!
 
We are delighted to offer a limited quantity of Salon 2012 in stock. Packed in OWC 1 bottle, you will be also awarded with HK$210 credit reward for your purchase which makes it from only HK$7,090 per bottle! 

If you are looking at a mature Salon, Salon 2007 could be a fantastic opportunity with HK$210 credit reward for your purchase which makes it from only HK$7,290 per bottle!

Back in 2014, Salon's president Didier Depond was quoted in the press as saying that “since 2008, there has been no genuinely great vintage in Champagne" and that a 2012 from Salon wouldn't be released. But the just-released 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil shows that he had good reason to change his mind, as to my palate this is, after the 2008, the finest Salon produced this millennium. Unwinding in the glass with notes of citrus oil, wet stones, freshly baked bread, white currants and oyster shell, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a tightly wound core of fruit, racy acids and an elegant pinpoint mousse. Concluding with a long and resonant finish, this is a structured and powerful Salon that's a lot more incisive than, for example, the 2002 at the same stage, but which also carries more muscle and substance than a leaner vintage such as 2007. For readers that have balked at the pricing of the magnum-only 2008, the 2012 isn't far off the latter's level in quality, and will presumably be distributed more conventionally.

The superb 2007 Brut Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil wafts from the glass with a beautiful bouquet of crushed chalk, lemon oil, crisp green apple, white flowers and brioche. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, taut and incisive, with bright acids, a tight-knit core and a brisk mousse, concluding with a long, chalky and bone-dry finish. After the comparatively broad and fleshy 2002, 2004 and 2006 vintages, the 2007 Salon seems to mark a return to a racier, more precise style—though admittedly that's in keeping with the style of the vintage—that makes me anticipate the release of the 2008 all the more eagerly.

Subject to final confirmation. Special offer available until 15th Oct 2024.
