The Five Most Important Champagne Producers

Champagne House #5: Salon

Salon is one of the most prestigious champagne houses in the world, and it is known for producing some of the finest and most expensive champagnes. Founded in 1911 by Eugène-Aimé Salon, this champagne house only produces one wine, the Salon Blanc de Blancs. This wine is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Le Mesnil-sur-Oger village in the Côte des Blancs region of Champagne.

One of the unique features of Salon is that it only produces vintage wines. This means that the grapes used to make each bottle of champagne come from a single, exceptional harvest year. The wine is then aged for at least 10 years in the cellars before it is released to the market. This long aging process gives the wine its unique character, complexity, and depth of flavor.

Salon is also known for its limited production. Each year, the champagne house only produces around 60,000 bottles of its Blanc de Blancs. This scarcity, combined with the high quality of the wine, makes it one of the most sought-after champagnes in the world.

The champagne produced by Salon is known for its distinctive taste and aroma. It has a pale golden color, with a fine and persistent mousse. On the nose, it is complex and elegant, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and brioche. On the palate, it is rich, creamy, and full-bodied, with flavors of lemon, honey, and roasted nuts. The finish is long and smooth, with a lingering mineral and salty note.

Salon is a symbol of excellence in the world of champagne, and its Blanc de Blancs is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and terroir. It is a champagne that embodies the essence of luxury, refinement, and sophistication, and it is a perfect choice for special occasions and celebrations.
