Salon - Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Le Mesnil 2013 (750ml)

THE WINE The Cuvée S of the champagne house Salon is an exceptional Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay). We owe it to the dream of Eugène-Aimé Salon, who in the 1910s wanted to produce a unique champagne, the best in the world. The grapes come from a single terroir, the Côte de Blancs, and from a single cru, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The champagne is produced only in the best vintages. In the 20th century, this happened only 37 times - unique in the world of wine! The quantity is therefore obviously limited. The vinification takes place according to the old tradition of Champagne. However, malolactic fermentation is not used in order to preserve the intense acidity. That is why this champagne also has excellent maturation potential. On the nose it exudes aromas of acacia and hawthorn, hazelnut, brioche and toast. On the palate it is creamy, acidic and mineral. The long finish is characterized by iodine notes. This champagne goes wonderfully with scallops, foie gras or fried St. Peter's fish.
