Salon le Mesnil 1999 MAGS
We currently have a parcel of keenly priced Salon 1999 Mags to offer - elsewhere on the market at a leading merchant for £2490!
Salon produces what many consider to be the quintessential Blanc de Blancs. It is declared 3 times a decade on average, with production of around 50,000 bottles a year from 40-year-old vines in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (one of the greatest crus of the Cote de Blancs). A delicate, elegant champagne which ages beautifully, developing wonderful richness and complexity and incredible aromatics.

95pts David Schildknecht, eRobertParker.com "The Salon 1999 Brut Le Mesnil - disgorged already in 2011 and dosed with a pretty typical six grams of residual sugar - displays faintly fusil and quarry dust notes as well as hickory nut, almond, walnut and toasted wheat piquancy on the nose. Polished and subtly creamy in texture yet brightly juicy with apple and lemon, this displays an uncanny sense of lift and refinement, perfectly complementing the honeysuckle and heliotrope perfume that waft inner-mouth. You could lose yourself in the ineffability of this wine's floral diversity and in its resonantly nut and grain low tones. Hints of apple pip lend subtle additional piquancy on a long and at once soothing as well as stimulating finish, with suggestions of oyster liquor becoming prominent as the bottle stands open for a few minutes, and serving to milk the salivary glands for all that they are worth. Follow this for at least a decade. 2013-2023"
95pts Neal Martin "Disgorged October 2010, the 1999 Salon is the 37th vintage of this famous Blanc de Blancs from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. With 5gms/L dosage, it has a light mousse in the glass. As expected, the bouquet is beautifully defined with hints of white truffle and cold limestone. There is wonderful mineralite on the tense, poised palate and is perhaps less 'Zen-like' than the 1996 with just a suggestion of brioche towards the finish. This is a class act for sure. Tasted March 2011"
