Salon is a unique champagne. Defined by its singularity since its inception, this exceptional wine comes from a single terroir - the Côte des Blancs - and a single cru: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger; a single grape variety: Chardonnay; from a single great vintage year; and from one man: Eugène-Aimé Salon.
From the outset, Salon's intention was to create a legendary wine: a single vintage, a single plot, a single cru and a single grape variety from a single village - Mesnil-sur-Oger. The grapes for the champagne are sourced from 'Le Jardin de Salon', a one-hectare vineyard, and nineteen other meticulously selected plots in Mesnil-sur-Oger. He stores his wines on slats in the cellar for at least ten years. In 1911, he produced his first millésime from the 1905 vintage. This champagne was intended solely for friends and Maxim's restaurant in Paris.
Following his death in 1943, Aimé Salon was succeeded by his great-nephew. In 1988, the Laurent-Perrier group took over the Salon house and its neighbouring Chardonnay specialist, the Delamotte house. The group is currently led by Didier Depond, cellar master at Laurent-Perrier, and Michel Fauconnet, production director.
