Aug 27, 2026
“The 2015 Salon is exquisite… a Champagne of cool sophistication and total polish.” - Antonio Galloni
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!
The latest release is the 2015 vintage is the 45th Salon to be released in 120 years. The 2015 has a dry summer with abundant sunshine which gives the vibrancy and freshness of the wine and it is expected to be approachable when young. A sharp deal valid before 31st Aug, we are delighted to offer 5 cases of Salon 2015 from only HK$7,350 per bottle if you buy a case of 3*75cl -

The 2015 Salon is exquisite. Bright and focused, the 2015 captures a gorgeous stylsitic middle ground between the riper and cooler years. The flavor profile leans towards the more citrus, floral and mineral-driven end of the spectrum typical of cooler years, and yet the wine is also wonderfully open-knit and accessible, with no hard edges and the textural balance that is more common in warmer years. It's a duality that works extremely well. There is a savory undertone typical of the year, but it is a strand in the fabric rather than a dominant characteristic. I left a bottle open for more than a week, during which I observed virtually no oxidation. The 2015 might not be as overtly impressive as some recent years, rather it is a Champagne of cool sophistication and total polish. Unusually, the 2015 is being released ahead of the 2014. Drink 2025-2045

Pouring a bright silver/yellow color, the 2015 Champagne Salon Brut is a bit shy on the nose at first but offers richness on the palate, with peppery spice and crystalline, satiny earth, white peach, quince, and a stone-fruit fleshiness to the texture, characteristic of a sunny vintage. Harvested in the first days of September, it’s medium-bodied and has a broader texture throughout the palate, maintaining the delicacy and finesse of the house. It has a muscular profile but remains tailored, with some phenolic touches and a fresh richness in texture and structure. It has a pinpoint mousse and a touch of frothiness on the finish, ending with a structured and dry finish. When revisited in the glass, it becomes more smoky, and it gains in intensity as it opens. While it currently shows restraint, it should only improve with several years in the bottle. Drink 2027-2060.
