The Salon 1997 has got a sparking pale yellow robe showing nacred hues. On the nose the wine shows an incredible complexity. An extreme minerality dominates through notes of white flowers, hawthorn and acacia, conveying a great finesse to the wine. On the palate, the texture appears to be silky, with a caressing and delicate freshness. With all this harmony and purity, the attacks stands quite apart and surprises as it allows the expression of fine bubbles through a voluptuous foam. In the end of the tasting, aromas of brioche crust appear along with notes of granny smith apple and hazelnut, underlining the finale

Wine Advocate-Parker :
Disgorged earlier this year (2018), the Salon 1997 Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Brut opens with a deep, intense and concentrated yet pure, fine and complex bouquet of chalk intertwined with ripe yellow-fleshed fruit, brioche and hazelnut notes. This is a bright, perfectly matured Champagne from Mesnil-sur-Oger with hints of caramel, white mushrooms, parsley root and a beautiful varnish on the nevertheless fresh nose with its characteristic chalky Mesnil expressions. The palate is full and intense, almost rich in the first moment compared the the 2007, but then the 1997 proceeds as pure, elegant and fresh as a Salon should be. Yes, there are some similarities to the 2007 in terms of finesse, with the linear, mineral and vinous style fortified by the complexity of 21 years of age. This is a really fine Champagne but not as ripe as the 2007. The rigid taster will find some drying green apple phenolics in the aftertaste, but the hedonist (who doesn't look at the price) won't get that. So enjoy! Tasted from lot L93 SO 19218 MR in November 2018.
