Champagne Salon 1999

Champagne Salon 1999 is a highly sought-after vintage champagne, renowned for its elegance, complexity, and exceptional aging potential. Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes sourced from the Grand Cru vineyards of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, this Blanc de Blancs reflects the purity and finesse that defines Salon.

The 1999 vintage exhibits a vibrant golden hue, with an array of delicate bubbles. On the nose, it opens with intense aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, and hints of fresh almonds, followed by subtle notes of brioche and chalky minerality. The palate is precise and beautifully balanced, offering flavors of lemon, pear, and white peach, alongside a creamy texture with vibrant acidity. The finish is long and refreshing, with lingering notes of salinity and toast.

This is a champagne that promises further evolution in the bottle, making it a prized addition to any collector’s cellar, but also an exquisite choice for immediate enjoyment on special occasions.
