Blanc de Blancs 2015

Salon (hentet 2. nov. 2026): Champagne Salon 2015 Salon 2015, the source This forty-fifth vintage marks a kind of rebirth, a reminder of first principles. 2015 transports us back to 1905, when the visionary Aimé Salon created his first masterpiece – one that nobody had dared imagine: a Champagne from a single cru, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger; a single grape, Chardonnay; and a single vintage, made only in the most exceptional years. Crafted initially for the pleasure of its brilliant inventor and his close friends, Salon’s singular creation quickly captured the attention of the most discerning connoisseurs of the Roaring Twenties. The vintage After a mild, wet autumn and an uneventful winter without any harsh frosts, a wet spring encouraged early development in the vines, budburst for Chardonnay beginning from 14th April. From mid-May and for the next 3 months, an extended spell of dry, sunny weather settled across the region. Champagne basked in the light. The Chardonnay vines began flowering energetically on 11th June. By early August, veraison was underway, and soon after, welcome showers and cooler temperatures allowed the vines to complete the ripening cycle in calm, measured fashion. By the time harvest began on 8th September, bright sunshine had returned to Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The summer of 2015 smashed historical records for both sunshine and drought – climatic conditions that brought the grapes to perfect maturity, promising a vintage of remarkable quality.
