CHAMPAGNE SALON 2013 LE MESNIL 75 CL

CHAMPAGNE SALON 2013 LE MESNIL 75 CL

Champagne Salon the desire for perfection.

Forty-fourth in its 120-year history, Salon 2013 arrives like a Greek god with a chiselled silhouette, long, lean muscles perfectly defined, ready to conquer hearts and palates. 2013 stands out from the crowd because of his extraordinary stature. As he approaches, his features become more refined, his line and contours more defined, attracting people with their beauty. Ten years of training in the depths of the cellars will have been necessary for this Proteus, with his impressive physique and insolent beauty.

Salon 2013 sparkles in the natural light; in the glass, the golden hues mingle with the green reflections that faithfully reveal the great whites of white. White flowers, lime blossom, jasmine and bergamot zest make up the bouquet, imbued with a typical Mesnil minerality. The dimension of the terroir is revealed, subtle and profound. Both rich and long, the palate shows perfect balance and restrained power. The warmth of the vintage is palpable, as evidenced by the wine's solid structure and round, smooth aromas of baked apple, toasted hazelnuts and salted butter caramel. The chalky, salivating finish, supported by evanescent bubbles, is Salon's signature. The origin has the last word, Le Mesnil expresses itself at its straightest, its fullest, its most chiselled; Salon 2013 conceals an unsuspected strength that bursts out into the open.

GOURMET PAIRINGS

We can't recommend Salon 2013 highly enough at the table to bring out its full potential. Appreciate its iodised minerality with a salmon terrine with oysters in jelly, see how proudly it responds to the Champagne speciality of pig's trotter with veal sweetbreads, and test its round, silky texture with a foie gras cromesquis.
