Merchant's description
Founder Eugène-Aimé Salon pioneered Champagne’s first ever blanc de blancs in the early 1900s. Salon was originally destined to personal consumption until 1921, the first commercial vintage. This release is the 1988 vintage which was imported to the US by Wilson Daniels Ltd. Now in its optimal drinking window, the cuvée is beautifully focused, with deep notes of lime, honey and mushrooms in butter.
