Based across two sites in Fontette and Essoyes, which is coincidentally also the home of the famous impressionist Auguste Renoir.

A glacial start to June put the brakes on progress, and the vines were hesitant to flower, leading to significantly reduced crops. Fortunately, temperatures fell more into line as the month continued, promising a more positive fruit set. July brought moderate, even conditions to help the fruit on its way, turbo boosted by a resplendent August. While a dull, grey start to September halted progress, ripening continued slowly but surely, the grapes gradually gaining in power and concentration. Salon’s vineyards in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger were harvested on 17th September, the berries in pristine condition with an astonishing balance of sugar and acidity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2008 is the epitome of Salon, an extraordinary wine, aromatically, texturally, structurally, a paradox as it is so often described, defying definition. Didier Depond calls this the ‘dream vintage’. Its classic white flower perfume moves knowingly between innocence and exoticism. The palate is crystalline, fine as silk, with immense power building in the mouth, its incisive chalky acids commanding attention while infinite tiny bubbles smooth and titillate. Still young of course, it is less austere than it is grand, an exercise in grace through precision. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSalon 2007\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2007 vintage yielded mixed results in Champagne. Weather conditions in 2007 were neatly summarised in an official local report as ‘climatologie chaotique’, an apt description. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe challenges led to significant heterogeneity in style and quality across the wider region, in fact a swathe of prominent names did not even declare the vintage. Fortunately for followers of Salon, the conditions favoured the Côte des Blancs and the chardonnay variety. Winter 2007 was unusually mild. This shifted forward the entire season, with an early bud-break and hot April pointing to harvest as early as mid- August. However, unsettled weather through May and part of June led to uneven flowering across the region, altering fortunes and timings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFortunately Le Mesnil and neighbouring villages in the Côte des Blancs were spared the greater vagaries and Salon set a healthy crop. The latter part of June and the whole of July were promising, with warm, sunny conditions across the region, but a dismal August led many growers to harvest before the grapes were fully ripe, fearing the impact of rains. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose who waited, were rewarded handsomely, as the last week of August saw a return to sunshine.

June brought sunshine and warm, even conditions, perfect for flowering.

Didier has called this the ‘romantic’ vintage in its contrasts of light and dark both aromatically and structurally.

Europe’s heatwave vintage of 2003 left its mark in the vines and the soils. As the calendar rolled round to spring 2004, low ground water levels led to drier, warmer soils. This, together with fine weather in June, resulted in an impressive fruit set promising large crops, and indeed many houses went onto harvest enormous quantities. At this point, Salon took the rare decision to carry out a green harvest, with the aim of attaining the concentration and acid balance worthy of a Salon vintage. A dismal August caused a hiatus in the ripening process, ultimately fortuitous as the season was then extended naturally. Glorious late summer sunshine and cool night-time temperatures proved magical, bringing Salon’s small harvest to astonishing ripeness, balanced by pristine acids. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalon 2004 has always shown a certain serenity. Graceful and inviting with ripe comice and hints of brioche, the wine retains the taut, saline edge of all Salon vintages, balancing curve and tension. 15 years on from the vintage (at time of writing in September 2019), this last disgorgement is vinous and mineral, showing the signature Salon freshness and salinity but already expansive on the palate. A beautiful wine, produced in small quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout The House\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell if Krug is the King, then Salon is the Queen. This is the one of the few houses in Champagne that only makes blanc de blancs and not just any blanc de blancs – it only produces vintage champagne in the best years. Matthieu Pouchan, global brand ambassador was recently in Australia (September 2017) promoting the release of Vintage 2006 and emphasised that Salon has only produced 40 vintages in its history, since 1905. Salon produce a tiny 50,000 bottles per year and connoisseurs globally hunt for those rarely allocated bottles, which fetch a pretty penny. Salon typically spends a mighty 10 years in the cellar waiting for the tense chardonnay of the Cotes de Blancs to temper from tightly wound acidity and earthy minerality. This is a wine that will keep showing its ethereal beauty up to 20 years beyond release.

A glacial start to June put the brakes on progress, and the vines were hesitant to flower, leading to significantly reduced crops. Fortunately, temperatures fell more into line as the month continued, promising a more positive fruit set. July brought moderate, even conditions to help the fruit on its way, turbo boosted by a resplendent August. While a dull, grey start to September halted progress, ripening continued slowly but surely, the grapes gradually gaining in power and concentration. Salon’s vineyards in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger were harvested on 17th September, the berries in pristine condition with an astonishing balance of sugar and acidity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2008 is the epitome of Salon, an extraordinary wine, aromatically, texturally, structurally, a paradox as it is so often described, defying definition. Didier Depond calls this the ‘dream vintage’. Its classic white flower perfume moves knowingly between innocence and exoticism. The palate is crystalline, fine as silk, with immense power building in the mouth, its incisive chalky acids commanding attention while infinite tiny bubbles smooth and titillate. Still young of course, it is less austere than it is grand, an exercise in grace through precision. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSalon 2007\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2007 vintage yielded mixed results in Champagne. Weather conditions in 2007 were neatly summarised in an official local report as ‘climatologie chaotique’, an apt description. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe challenges led to significant heterogeneity in style and quality across the wider region, in fact a swathe of prominent names did not even declare the vintage. Fortunately for followers of Salon, the conditions favoured the Côte des Blancs and the chardonnay variety. Winter 2007 was unusually mild. This shifted forward the entire season, with an early bud-break and hot April pointing to harvest as early as mid- August. However, unsettled weather through May and part of June led to uneven flowering across the region, altering fortunes and timings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFortunately Le Mesnil and neighbouring villages in the Côte des Blancs were spared the greater vagaries and Salon set a healthy crop. The latter part of June and the whole of July were promising, with warm, sunny conditions across the region, but a dismal August led many growers to harvest before the grapes were fully ripe, fearing the impact of rains. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose who waited, were rewarded handsomely, as the last week of August saw a return to sunshine.

They called themselves 'Société des Grands Crus de la Champagne' because at the time, only growers that owned grand cru vineyards could join. Between them, they had grand cru vineyards in the areas of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims and they banded together as they were seeking to make better wines than they could achieve separately. So how did the name come about? Well this truly is an interesting story and through our research we discovered some interesting facts. The founders at first tried to create an acronym using their initials to form a name, which you can imagine was frustrating and ended nowhere. At a loss with what to do, the story goes, a very famous biscuit company called Huntley \u0026amp; Palmer, based in Berkshire, UK, inspired them. They were biscuit makers to the Royal family and received Royal warrants by Napoleon III. Apparently as many imports were restricted during the war back in the 1940's, the people of Reims or Remois as they are referred to were prepared to pay more for a packet of biscuits than a bottle of champagne!

They called themselves 'Société des Grands Crus de la Champagne' because at the time, only growers that owned grand cru vineyards could join. Between them, they had grand cru vineyards in the areas of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims and they banded together as they were seeking to make better wines than they could achieve separately. So how did the name come about? Well this truly is an interesting story and through our research we discovered some interesting facts. The founders at first tried to create an acronym using their initials to form a name, which you can imagine was frustrating and ended nowhere. At a loss with what to do, the story goes, a very famous biscuit company called Huntley \u0026amp; Palmer, based in Berkshire, UK, inspired them. They were biscuit makers to the Royal family and received Royal warrants by Napoleon III. Apparently as many imports were restricted during the war back in the 1940's, the people of Reims or Remois as they are referred to were prepared to pay more for a packet of biscuits than a bottle of champagne! This inspired the champagne house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is definitely a food wine and can pair with a medley of dishes.

Salon produce a tiny 50,000 bottles per year and connoisseurs globally hunt for those rarely allocated bottles, which fetch a pretty penny. Salon typically spends a mighty 10 years in the cellar waiting for the tense chardonnay of the Cotes de Blancs to temper from tightly wound acidity and earthy minerality.

The absolutely pristine wine making facilities located in Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ are overseen by multiple generations of the family as well as \u003cstrong\u003echef winemaker Francois Domi\u003c\/strong\u003e. The house purposely ferments at a lower temperature elongating the ferment to weeks and not days as can be standard in champagne, which helps capture the pristine nature of the fruit. Every step of the wine making process at the house is artful, right down to the precision of the dosage which is unique for every disgorgement conducted in batches. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn exceptional fermentation with a chalky, mineral style which wonderfully accompanies Ossetra caviar or fine marinated sashimi.
