Starting to look a little more deeply coloured compared with the 1996. Quite a woody smell at first. Broad and yeasty and incredibly rich on the palate, balanced by Seville orange as well as intense citrus. Complex and just gently sparkling. Mouthfilling as well as very long. This is becoming more a wine than a fizz – if I am allowed to referred to Salon as 'fizz'.

Brilliant stuff. Vinous, with a patina of nutty maturity offset by a citrus- and honeysuckle-tinged freshness, all embraced by a taut, silky structure. The best is the finish, a kaleidoscope of biscuit, fig and walnut that goes on and on.

Toasty and generous, this Salon has aged beautifully. There is precision and focus along with generous, toasty, brioche-like sweetness on the palate with a lingering finish. Perfect to drink now.

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.
