Salon 2013 | Bottle 75cl - Wooden case

Description

This exceptional cuvée is the 44th vintage of its name in 120 years of existence. It is the unique expression of a single grape variety, Chardonnay, a single terroir, the Côte des Blancs, a single cru, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and a single year, 2013.

The 2013 vintage was particularly late, but the glorious summer provided maximum sunshine and low rainfall, ideal conditions for the Chardonnays to ripen. The autumn harvest produced elegant wines with a pronounced freshness.

Salon 2013 has a sparkling color with golden hues and green highlights, faithful indicators of great blanc de blancs.

The nose opens with notes of white flowers, lime blossom, jasmine and bergamot zest, marked by the typical minerality of Mesnil. The dimension of the terroir reveals itself, subtle and deep.

The palate shows perfect balance and restrained power. The warmth of the vintage is palpable, evidenced by the wine's solid structure and round, smooth aromas of baked apple, toasted hazelnuts, and salted butter caramel.

To appreciate the iodine-rich minerality of this 2013 Salon, we recommend pairing it with salmon or oysters, but its round, silky texture also makes it a perfect match for foie gras cromesquis!
