Now in stock: 97pts 2006 Salon Cuvee 'S' Le Mesnil, "recalls the 2002" AG
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!
Just arrived and ready for delivery, the 2006 Salon Cuvee 'S' Le Mesnil is a top buy of the week. It received the same score with the fabulous 2002 Vintage from Antonio Galloni who stated, “2006 recalls the 2002, but it appears to have more phenolic intensity and overall structure” -

97pts Antonio Galloni
The 2006 Salon is a very rich wine, almost uncharacteristically so. Deep and exotic the 2006 exudes richness in all of its dimensions, with myriad inflections of sumptuous fruit that fill out its ample, large-scaled frame. Today, the 2006 is surprisingly accessible for a young Salon, but it needs time to shed some baby fat. At times, the 2006 recalls the 2002, but it appears to have more phenolic intensity and overall structure. Even with all of its flamboyance and pure volume, the 2006 retains quite a bit of energy and freshness. I imagine it will be a fascinating, utterly compelling Champagne to follow over the next several decades.
