List of products by brand Salon

Salon is a unique champagne. Defined by its singularity since the very beginning, this exceptional wine is the champagne of a single terroir: the Côte des Blancs; a single cru: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger; a single grape variety: Chardonnay; a single year: that of a great vintage; and of one man: Eugène-Aimé Salon.

The first vintage of Champagne Salon was 1905. It was the creation of Eugène-Aimé Salon, a unique character with unwavering ambition. In love with champagne and captivated by the terroir of Le Mesnil, Eugène-Aimé Salon created a champagne after his own heart: an unparalleled Blanc de Blancs. Initially he created this for his personal pleasure only – it was not until the 1920s that he was to share his creation with the rest of the world.

Champagne Salon comes from a single hectare plot called « the Salon garden » and nineteen other small plots in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger selected by Eugène-Aimé Salon at the beginning of the 20th century. The wines are aged in our cellars for an average of ten years, after which they finally start to reveal their complexity and finesse.

After buying Maison Delamotte, the fifth oldest winery in Mesnil-sur-Oger, a Grand Cru commune on the Côte des Blancs, Maison Laurent-Perrier in 1988 finalized the purchase of the nearby Salon winery, renowned for the sublime quality of its Champagnes. Today, both Maison Delamotte and Maison Salon are masterfully directed by winemaker Didier Depond, who, as far as the Salon winery is concerned, seeks to enhance a history that began back in 1905. Indeed, to this year dates the first production of Champagne Salon, created by Aimé Salon, who was deeply in love with and seduced by Champagne and the terroir of Le Mesnil. With a firm desire to enhance a precious and important tradition, Salon Champagnes are currently produced with the same purpose from which they originated, according to which complexity and finesse are enhanced in a wine that, when stored in optimal conditions, must wait at least ten years before revealing its best qualities.
