The 2007 Salon Cuvée ‘S’ Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Brut is one of the world’s most revered and rare Champagnes, representing the pinnacle of Blanc de Blancs from a single village, a single grape, and a single vintage. Produced only in exceptional years by the legendary Salon, Salon is the ultimate expression of Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of Champagne’s most prized Grand Cru villages.
Salon is uncompromising in philosophy: 100% Chardonnay, exclusively from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and released only when the vintage meets its exacting standards. The 2007 vintage, marked by balance, finesse, and aromatic purity, produced a Champagne of crystalline precision and long-term ageing potential. Extended ageing on lees prior to release has endowed the wine with extraordinary depth and complexity while preserving tension and freshness.
The bouquet is refined and layered, offering aromas of citrus zest, white peach, green apple, and chalky minerality, gradually unfolding into notes of brioche, toasted almond, hazelnut, and subtle pastry cream. On the palate, the wine is taut, focused, and impeccably structured, driven by vibrant acidity and a fine, persistent mousse. The finish is exceptionally long, saline, and mineral, reflecting the unique terroir of Le Mesnil and Salon’s uncompromising craftsmanship.
Still youthful and tightly wound, the 2007 Salon Cuvée ‘S’ Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Brut demands patience and will continue to evolve gracefully over several decades. When enjoyed now, extended decanting or slow aeration in the glass is recommended to fully reveal its complexity.
Presented in its original presentation box, this is a truly iconic Champagne and a centrepiece bottle for the world’s finest cellars.
