Product Information: Salon's newly released 2013 Blanc de Blancs comes from a challenging growing season that is emerging, at least with respect to the region's top cuvées, as one of the most underestimated vintages of the last 15 years. With a dosage just 5.5 grams per litre, the 2013 Brut Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil possesses a complex, fruity bouquet mingling aromas of orchard fruit with notions of lemon oil, exotic fruits, spring flowers, almond and hints of menthol and buttery pastry. It's full-bodied, rich and dense, with lively acids. Maker: Salon champagne stands apart as something truly special, shaped by its distinctive terroir and grape variety. It comes from the Côte des Blancs, from the singular cru of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, crafted solely from Chardonnay grapes harvested in exceptional years and is of one man's vision Eugène-Aimé Salon. The first vintage of Champagne Salon was 1905 by the hands of Eugène-Aimé Salon, a remarkable man with unwavering ambition. In love with champagne and captivated by the terroir of Le Mesnil, Eugène-Aimé Salon created a Blanc de Blancs Champagne. Initially it was only for his personal pleasure – but by 1920s he began to share his passion with the rest of the world. Champagne Salon comes from a single hectare plot called 'the Salon garden' and nineteen other small plots in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger selected by Eugène-Aimé Salon at the beginning of the 20th century. The wines are aged in cellar for an average of ten years, after which they finally start to reveal their complexity and finesse. The fact that Salon still conserves bottles in its cellars from nearly every vintage is testament to its legacy. To demonstrate how rare these wines are, just 37 vintages were produced in the 20th century, a unique phenomenon in the world of wine. Vineyard: 2013 is a cool, late-ripening vintage in Champagne, hallmarked by October harvest in cool but sunny conditions. Despite a challenging growing season for some producers, this is a superb Salon with a long, resonant finish. After a cold winter, budbreak was relatively late. The weather was rainy throughout the spring, followed by hail episodes in the Côte des Bar, in Vallée de la Marne and in Côte des Blancs, notably in Epernay. In mid-July, the weather turned hot, sunny and dry until early September. Unfortunately, the rains returned until the end of the month, causing damage and precipitating a virulent attack of gray rot (botrytis) in some locations. Harvest took place at the beginning of October. The houses that managed to contain the attacks of gray rot and to pick the grapes during the mild days of October succeeded in making excellent wines with a classic, chiseled profile that has become only too rare in the interim. Nose - Browned Pastry, Orange Cream, Floral Honey Orange cream, floral honey and lemon peel, backed up with delicate browned pastry, milky oyster and nut oil complexity that speaks of the long lees ageing. Palate - Creamy, Fine Mousse, Salty Edge Full-bodied, rich and dense, with lively acids, notably complex and incisive. Finish - Taut, Lemon Peel, Chalky Fine mousse with a savoury/salty edge freshening up the finish.

Product Description: One barrel, Grand Cru power—Bâtard-Montrachet with grace and grip. From a single barrel and 50-year-old vines, the 2023 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru from Domaine Joseph Colin is a rare release even by Burgundy standards. Sitting beside Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, this small plot delivers the full breadth of Grand Cru weight and aromatic precision—but with Colin’s unmistakable mineral signature and restraint. The nose is rich yet composed—burnt butter, dried apricot, peach and citrus backed by spice and faint honeysuckle. The palate is commanding, with smoky stone fruit, citrus tension and salinity that reins in the power. It's a wine of muscle and finesse, tightly wound yet already layered. Made without bâtonnage or fining, and with minimal sulphur at bottling, this wine is bottled directly from its original barrel. Best cellared through 2036 or longer. Serve with the finest shellfish, white fish or creamy poultry preparations. Tasting Notes NOSE – Deep and expressive Burnt butter, dried apricot, peach, citrus and spice. PALATE – Grand and balanced Layered orchard fruit, smoky weight, citrus bite and saline lift. FINISH – Long and harmonious Structured, tense and deeply mineral with refined persistence. Reviews & Accolades “This retains the Joseph Colin hallmark with remarkable tension and a slight salinity, but there is no doubting the intensity that goes with it.” – Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, 94–96 Points “Stellar Grand Cru quality... muscular body which holds the weight well. Just the right acidity and fair length.” – Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, 95–97 Points
