Salon Cuvee 'S' Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Brut, Champagne, France 2013 1.5L

Salon Cuvée “S” Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Brut 2013 is one of the most iconic and collectible Champagnes ever produced, revered for its purity, precision, and extraordinary longevity. Made exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grown in the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, the 2013 vintage shows remarkable tension and finesse, with notes of citrus zest, white flowers, chalky minerality, and subtle brioche unfolding into a long, elegant finish. Seamless yet powerful, this is a Champagne that dazzles now but is built to evolve gracefully for decades, making it a cornerstone bottle for serious collectors and luxury celebrations alike.

Founded in 1911 by Eugène-Aimé Salon, Champagne Salon is legendary for its uncompromising philosophy: one grape, one village, one vintage, and only released in exceptional years—fewer than 50 vintages in over a century. Produced in extremely limited quantities and aged extensively on its lees before release, Salon has become a benchmark for Blanc de Blancs Champagne and a symbol of ultimate refinement. The 2013 vintage, shaped by a cool growing season and late harvest, exemplifies Salon’s signature style of crystalline purity, structure, and age-worthy brilliance.
