Crafted exclusively from Chardonnay sourced in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, it represents the pinnacle of Blanc de Blancs Champagne and a modern benchmark for elegance and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it typically shows a pale golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is restrained yet deeply complex, unfolding with white flowers, citrus peel, green orchard fruit, chalk, and subtle toasted notes as it opens.\n\nOn the palate, Salon 2013 is expected to be taut, mineral-driven, and razor-sharp, with layers of lemon, pear, white peach, and saline freshness carried by a very precise mousse. The finish is long, clean, and chalky, and like all great Salon vintages, it has exceptional aging potential, rewarding cellaring for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of Champagne’s most celebrated Grand Cru villages, Salon comes from chalk-rich terroir that gives the wine its signature tension, purity, and minerality. The estate is known for making only one cuvée, from Chardonnay alone, in years deemed worthy of the Salon name; the grapes are harvested by hand and vinified with a focus on preserving freshness, transparency, and the character of the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis magnum is ideal with refined dishes such as oysters, caviar, scallops, sashimi, lobster, or delicately prepared poultry and creamy risottos. Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, and while decanting is generally not necessary, a brief aeration can help the wine reveal more of its aromatic depth if opened young.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSalon was founded in the early 20th century by Eugène-Aimé Salon, who envisioned a singular Champagne made only from Chardonnay and only in outstanding vintages. Today, it remains one of the most iconic names in Champagne, revered for its uncompromising style, rarity, and consistent critical acclaim, with Le Mesnil-sur-Oger at the heart of its identity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251934187857,"sku":"GCW-MMUI-080120264","price":2695.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/salo-12001_1_2.png?v=1783442317","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/2013-salon-s-le-mesnil-magnum-1","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
