The 2015 Salon is the 45th vintage released by the prestigious Champagne Salon. This vintage blanc de blancs uses grapes sourced from the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs, including a single one-hectare plot known as The Salon Garden. The 2015 Champagne vintage was marked by a summer with record sunshine and drought, but welcome September rains helped the grapes achieve perfect maturity. This has resulted in a Champagne that balances ripeness with a taut, mineral-driven backbone. Expect a profile of white flowers, citrus and a persistent chalky quality, with a structure that promises a long life in the cellar.
