Fairly light vaguely brioche nose. Like the Dom 1985, tight, but more to be expected in a Salon. Very long and neat. Marked freshness. Dry finish. Svelte. Scored 17.5 and to drink 2000-2020A second bottle showed a much more evolved nose. Very much more interesting and nuanced. Hint of porcini dried mushrooms. Long and toasty.

The Maison Salon Champagne is a French house created in 1920 by Eugène-Aimé Salon. Unlike other Champagnes in the region, Maison Salon crafts its Champagnes without blending, focusing on a single grape variety: Chardonnay.

It was in 1905 that founder Aimé Salon produced "Le Mesnil-sur-Oger" with a single grape variety: Chardonnay, and from a single cru and vintage: 1905. An iconic and prestigious wine. Long kept for himself, it wasn't until 1920 that he decided to commercialise this wine and establish his estate.

Today, the production of Champagnes remains the same: made with grapes from the best Chardonnay plots for a 100% Chardonnay wine. The Maison Salon still produces only one Champagne from a 1-hectare plot "Jardins du Salon" and 19 other plots in Mesnil-sur-Oger. The Champagnes are aged for ten years in cellars before revealing their complexity and finesse. During the 20th century, the House produced 37 vintages. Among the most successful are the 1905, 1966, 1995, 1996, 1997 vintages...

The Maison Salon Champagne was acquired by the Laurent-Perrier group, which also owns the Delamotte Champagne house with whom Salon shares its premises.
