Salon 2008 in magnum, this special collection brings together recent and final disgorgements of the three receding Salon vintages – 2007, 2006, 2004 – marking the last time these vintages will be released for sale, this is a very special collection. The cased collection contains: 1 magnum of Salon 2008* 2 bottles of Salon 2007 2 bottles of Salon 2006 2 bottles of Salon 2004 *Salon 2008 cannot be purchased singularly. Champagne's first, finest and rarest Blanc de Blancs, Salon is the legacy of one man who devoted his life to creating the perfect pure-Chardonnay champagne. Produced from grapes grown on the deep chalk soils of Le Mesnil, still one of Champagne’s only Grand Cru villages, the apparent simplicity of this formula belies the challenges inherent in creating a wine of Salon’s complexity. Made on average only three times per decade, Salon Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs 2006 is only the fortieth vintage of Salon in history. Just 53,000 bottles of Salon were produced in 2006. The 2007 vintage is the 41st Salon to be released from this tiny champagne house in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Blanc de blancs in its purest form, the wine bears all the hallmarks of a classic Salon – the unmistakeable bone structure, the delicate-decadent fragrance, the elegance belying power beneath. The 2008 is only released in magnum format and available in this case. Tasting the vins clairs in early 2009, Président Didier Depond and Chef de Cave Michel Fauconnet were immediately struck by their profile, comparable in stature to the legendary Salon 1982, Salon 1966 and Salon 1928. They decided almost instantly to bottle the entire production in magnums, the ideal format to confer the slow, delicate élevage appropriate to the vintage, and their absolute commitment to quality. This would result in just 8,000 magnums being produced, a commercial headache, but one that would surely be addressed by subsequent vintages, by way of cosmic compensation. However, the following trio of vintages refused to kowtow to the law of averages: 2009, 2010 and 2011 all fell short of Salon’s exacting standards, and were not made.
