We are proud to offer the exceptional 1999 Salon Blanc de Blancs “Le Mesnil,” a benchmark vintage from one of Champagne’s most revered houses. Founded in 1905 by Eugène-Aimé Salon, this estate pioneered the production of vintage-only blanc de blancs Champagne exclusively from Grand Cru Chardonnay grapes grown in the village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. With only 37 vintages released in the entire 20th century, Salon remains a symbol of precision, elegance, and purity. The 1999 vintage showcases the hallmark finesse of the house, revealing a deep golden hue and expressive aromas of pear, brioche, hazelnut, and delicate florals layered over chalky minerality. On the palate, it offers a creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity, with lingering notes of peach, toasted bread, and oyster shell. Critics have awarded this bottle outstanding scores, including 95 points from Wine Advocate and Decanter, 96 from Wine & Spirits, and 95 from Vinous, all highlighting its youthful energy and remarkable aging potential. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Champagne history—ready to enjoy now with decanting, yet built to evolve gracefully for years to come.
