help Salon FAQ
What makes Salon Champagne different from other types of Champagne?
Salon exclusively produces a single-vintage Blanc de Blancs Champagne, meaning it is made entirely from 100% Chardonnay grapes and is never blended with wine from other years. Furthermore, they only release a vintage when the harvest meets their incredibly strict quality standards, skipping weaker years entirely.
Where are the grapes for Salon Champagne sourced from?
All of the grapes used in Salon Champagne come exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards located in the Mesnil-sur-Oger commune in the Côte des Blancs. This specific chalk-rich terroir is essential to the wine's intense minerality and high acidity.
How long is Salon Champagne aged before it is released to the public?
Salon ages its vintage Champagne on its lees in the cellar for an extended period of at least 10 years. This lengthy aging process gives the wine its distinct rich, brioche-like complexity and incredibly fine, soft bubbles.
Who founded the Salon Champagne house?
The house was founded in 1921 by Aimé Salon, a successful furrier who wanted to create the perfect Champagne for his personal table. It began as a passion project using grapes from a single hectare of vines purchased by his uncle in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
