Salon Champagne Cuvee 'S' Le Mesnil 1995

Salon is one of Champagne’s icons, and with good reason, as it is one of the most age worthy, complex wines made in the region. At its best, Salon is capable of ageing gracefully for decades. In fact, some vintages need a good 20 years before they begin to drink well! Salon is 100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards in Mesnil. The wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation, which adds to the already focused, intensely mineral-driven character that the Mesnil soil gives on its own. Salon is a wine for the patient, but its pedigree always comes through with time.
