SALON
Champagne Salon makes only one wine, its rare vintage, tête de cuvée Blanc de Blancs. First comes the hyper-selection of grapes: Much of Salon's extraordinary style - perfumed nose, exquisite balance, multiple layers of flavor, firm structure, tiny mousse, long-finish, etc. are determined by the grapes from three distinct micro-regions in this appellation. Salon makes the wine only in the greatest of years, when the grapes develop the ideal combination of rich fruit, sugar and high acidity. Salon uses only the first pressing, gaining the highest acidity and best quality of the grape and never puts its wine through malolactic fermentation. This retains the refreshing crispness and profound depth of flavor that are the hallmarks of Salon.
