The 2002 vintage is the first 21st-century vintage from the famous Salon house, which vinified only 37 vintages in the previous century. Needless to say, only the exceptional have a place in the Salon vinothèque!
In this 2002 vintage, we find everything that makes Salon great and unique: superb chalky minerality, a touch of white flowers, brioche notes, a saline accent and always that creamy bubbles.
2002 was an exceptional year in Champagne, with a very favorable climate offering unique grape quality and a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness.
Salon 2002 has a pale gold color with green highlights.
The nose is complex, with notes of honeyed orange blossom, candied citrus fruit and freshly baked madeleine.
The palate is fine and long, with superb tension, fine nervousness and great precision.
This is a champagne to match lobster à la nage, poularde de Bresse à la crème, scallop carpaccio or truffle risotto.
Salon 2002 still has many years of ageing ahead of it, during which its exceptional gifts will develop, refine and exalt.
