Aimé Salon always dreamed of making a great champagne and, having enriched himself through fur trading, bought a hectare of land in Champagne's Chardonnay country: Le Mesnil. He founded his eponymous house in 1914 and by 1920 Salon was the house champagne at Maxim's in Paris. Salon was the region's first Blanc de Blancs and a rare mono-terroir wine. Today Salon is owned by the house of Laurent-Perrier. Delamotte is considered Salon's second wine.

"Gentle first impression, almost a touch floral – lavender? herbal? – spicy and biscuity too. Broader than the 2002 and less intense, not as concentrated on the mid palate but a little broader, less tightly wound, as you would expect. Still very finely balanced and creamily textured. Amazingly long finish." Julia Harding MW
All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab.
Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
