Salon Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs (Cuvée S) Brut Champagne 1997

Salon Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs (Cuvée S) Brut Champagne 1997 is a rare and highly sought-after expression from one of Champagne’s most uncompromising houses. Made exclusively from Chardonnay grown in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, it captures the purity, precision, and age-worthy character that have made Salon a benchmark for Blanc de Blancs Champagne.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, this vintage shows a refined mousse and an elegant, mature profile. The nose opens with ripe citrus, white flowers, and hints of honey, toasted nuts, and chalky minerality, while the palate is layered, deep, and concentrated, balancing richness with the bright, driving freshness that defines great Blanc de Blancs Champagne. With time in bottle, the wine develops even greater complexity and nuance, gaining savoury, nutty, and brioche-like tones while preserving its remarkable tension and length. This is a Champagne with excellent aging potential and strong appeal for collectors.

Production
Crafted from 100% Chardonnay sourced from the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs, the wine reflects one of Champagne’s most prized terroirs for crystalline acidity and mineral precision. The fruit is traditionally harvested by hand, and Salon’s meticulous vinification is designed to preserve purity, texture, and the individuality of the vintage before extended bottle aging.

Food & Serving
Best enjoyed with refined dishes such as oysters, langoustines, seared scallops, caviar, or delicate poultry preparations. Serve chilled at around 8-10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short aeration can help fully reveal the wine’s aromatic depth if it has been cellared for many years.

Producer
Champagne Salon is one of the most iconic names in Champagne, founded in the early 20th century and long associated with exclusivity, rarity, and exceptional quality. The house is famed for producing only in exceptional vintages and only a single cuvée, making it a cult reference in the region and a favorite among collectors worldwide.
