The 2013 Cuvée “S” Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Brut from Champagne Salon is a remarkable expression of precision and rarity, born from the singular vision of Aimé Salon. Crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grown in the grand cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, this champagne embodies the philosophy of one grape, one terroir, and one exceptional vintage. Produced only in the finest years, the 2013 vintage reflects a challenging growing season that ultimately delivered grapes with outstanding balance and freshness.
After nearly a decade of aging in the cellar, this Blanc de Blancs reveals both depth and finesse. In the glass, it displays a beautifully bright golden colour with delicate green highlights. On the nose, it opens with an elegant and expressive bouquet, revealing aromas of white flowers, lime blossom, jasmine, and bergamot zest. The palate is refined and structured, offering impressive length and balance, with layered notes of baked apple, toasted hazelnuts, and subtle hints of salted caramel. A distinctive chalky minerality carries through to a long, mouthwatering finish.
This exceptional cuvée pairs effortlessly with refined dishes such as salmon terrine, oysters in gelée, pig trotter with veal sweetbreads, or foie gras cromesquis. For optimal enjoyment, serve between 13 and 15°C. With its remarkable structure and precision, this vintage can be cellared gracefully until 2028.
