Salon 2013 | Bottle 75cl - Wooden case

Description

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

2013 was a particularly late cycle, but the radiant summer provided maximum sunshine and low rainfall, ideal parameters for ripening Chardonnays. The autumn harvest produced elegant, fresh wines.

Salon 2013 is a sparkling wine, with golden hues and green reflections, the hallmarks of great blanc de blancs.

The nose opens with notes of white flowers, lime blossom, jasmine and bergamot zest, imbued with typical Mesnil minerality. The dimension of the terroir is revealed, subtle and profound.

Perfectly balanced on the palate, with restrained power. The warmth of the vintage is palpable, as evidenced by the wine's solid structure and round, smooth aromas of baked apple, roasted hazelnut and salted butter caramel.

To appreciate the iodized minerality of this Salon 2013, we advise you to enjoy it with salmon or oysters, but for the round, silky texture, a foie gras cromesquis would also be perfect!
