Grey Chip Selections: Heavy-hitters from a heavy hitter. All wines purchased through reputable retailers and stored in a temperature and humidity controlled facility.

“Back in 2014, Salon's president Didier Depond was quoted in the press as saying that ‘since 2008, there has been no genuinely great vintage in Champagne’ and that a 2012 from Salon wouldn't be released. But the just-released 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil shows that he had good reason to change his mind, as to my palate this is, after the 2008, the finest Salon produced this millennium. Unwinding in the glass with notes of citrus oil, wet stones, freshly baked bread, white currants and oyster shell, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a tightly wound core of fruit, racy acids and an elegant pinpoint mousse. Concluding with a long and resonant finish, this is a structured and powerful Salon that's a lot more incisive than, for example, the 2002 at the same stage, but which also carries more muscle and substance than a leaner vintage such as 2007.” (98+ pts. William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Sept. 2021)
