Salon Cuvée "S" 2007 - Champagne

Champagne Salon Cuvée "S" 2007 Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Brut

The Salon house, founded by Eugène-Aimé Salon at the beginning of the 20th century, embodies excellence in Champagne. Producing exclusively Blanc de Blancs, Salon relies on a unique terroir: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, classified as Grand Cru. The uniqueness of the house lies in its high standards: it only offers one vintage, only in years when the vintage is considered perfect.

The 2007 Cuvée S is a true ode to purity and balance. It reflects the art of champagne making, with a precision and delicacy that have made Salon world-renowned.

Vintage 2007

The 2007 vintage was marked by an atypical climate: a mild winter followed by a warm spring and a cool summer. These conditions allowed the grapes to mature gradually, preserving their freshness and natural acidity. The 2007 champagnes are renowned for their finesse and elegance, with excellent ageing potential.

When tasted, the Cuvée S 2007 reveals a bright golden color, with green highlights testifying to its youth and energy. The nose, subtle and complex, expresses notes of white flowers, candied lemon, fresh hazelnut and a touch of mineral chalk typical of the terroir. On the palate, the attack is precise and lively, giving way to a silky texture and a refined structure. The finish, long and saline, is distinguished by its elegance and persistent freshness.

Food and champagne pairings

The Cuvée S 2007 pairs perfectly with delicate dishes such as:

• Flat oysters or shellfish,
• A ceviche of sea bass or sea bream,
• A grilled lobster with lemon butter,
• Fresh cheeses like burrata or fresh goat’s cheese.

But we recommend you enjoy it for itself.
