Champagne Salon winery in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, France
About

Eugène-Aimé Salon created the first vintage of his Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Blanc de Blancs in 1905. The house makes one Champagne from Chardonnay grown in that village, and it releases a vintage only when it considers the harvest exceptional.

One village and selected years

The fruit comes from a one-hectare plot called the Salon garden and nineteen smaller plots, all in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Salon says its wines spend an average of ten years in its cellars. The current house site presents the 2015 vintage alongside earlier releases; check the exact vintage when buying.

Visits

Salon reserves house visits for wine professionals, such as retailers and sommeliers, who are asked to contact their local importer. There is no public cellar tour to book in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
