1999 Cuvée S, Salon

Ref: SALO990
White  |  Sparkling  |  12% ABV

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.

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes

"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

Sweetness Explained
Sweetness Explained

Sweetness

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.
