Salon

The first vintage of Champagne Salon was 1905. It was the creation of Eugène-Aimé Salon, a unique character with unwavering ambition. In love with champagne and captivated by the terroir of Le Mesnil, Eugène-Aimé Salon created a champagne after his own heart: an unparalleled Blanc de Blancs. Initially he created this for his personal pleasure only. It was not until the 1920s that he was to share his creation with the rest of the world. 

All  the  emphasis  in  the  production  of  this  exceptional wine is on the singular. It was originally the product of one single man, Aimé Salon, from one single region, the Côte de Blancs, from one single cru, le Mesnil-sur-Oger, from one single grape variety, Chardonnay, and from one single vintage, with no blending whatsoever. 

Situated in le Mesnil-sur-Oger, in the Côte des Blancs, the house of Salon has only one Champagne, the cuvée ‘S’. 

This Champagne is produced from a one-hectare parcel owned by Salon: “Salon’s garden”, and from 19 other smaller parcels in Mesnil-sur-Oger, chosen by Aimé Salon at the beginning of the century. Pressing is carried out at le Mesnil-sur-Oger, with a traditional press used only for Salon.

The wines are cellared in the bottle for an average of 10 years, gaining in complexity and finesse. Champagne Salon is at the forefront of Champagne. Its brilliance, style and class make it one of the purest, most profound and raciest Champagnes that one could ever drink.
