“It is, of course, hugely exciting to meet each new vintage of Salon blindly with good champagne-savvy friends. That’s how I met this beauty too. Reviews differed, with several finding the wine too developed and soft, while others praised the approachability and class. I am not entirely convinced that I understood the champagne completely correctly. It is clear, however, that the style is more directly appealing and less acidic than before, with a Grand Siècle-like texture and aroma profile. At the same time, there is super-concentrated Mesnil fruit and a velvet carpet that is extremely rare for this light and stylish year. Don’t be afraid to stock up as you usually do with Salon, but we’ll let the future tell how big the profit is.” (97 pts. Richard Juhlin, Champagne Club, Nov. 2025)
“Dense and explosive, the 2013 Salon is a huge wine that possesses almost shocking textural richness for such a young Salon. It offers a perfect example of the vintage in the Côte des Blancs, a year in which both ripeness and acids were elevated. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, mint and white pepper explode onto the palate, while bright saline notes pull everything back together on the finish. Dosage is 4.5 grams per liter.” (99 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2024)
Estimate: $1,400 - $1,800.
