Salon is entirely unique in the wine world: it produces only one single cuvée, from one single grape variety (Chardonnay), from one single Grand Cru village (Le Mesnil-sur-Oger), and only in exceptional vintages. On average, Salon releases only about three or four vintages per decade, letting the bottles rest on their lees for a minimum of a decade to unlock an unparalleled level of intellectual complexity, chalky mineral tension, and structural majesty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 1997\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRegion\/Appellation:\u003c\/b\u003e Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Grand Cru, Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Champagne Salon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGrape:\u003c\/b\u003e 100% Chardonnay (Blanc de Blancs)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e Mature, High-Tension, and Exceptionally Rare Prestige Brut Champagne\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePerfect for (food pairing):\u003c\/b\u003e Premium sturgeon caviar served on blinis, pan-seared sea scallops with black truffle butter, butter-poached lobster or marron tails, or classic Dover sole meunière.
