Salon Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Blanc de Blancs

Champagne

Le Mesnil-sur-Oger

Gult juicy hageeple, saltaktig Granny Smith epler, crispy grønt epleskall, brioche, kjølig vått smør, super clean, hvit sjokolade mousse, sjø, østers, super mineralsk, kalk skinner tvers igjennom, samt en fresh vibe - sommerlig norsk våt hageplen. Super konsentrert og dense. Aldri vært borti noe lignende. 

Det følger ekstremt i munn, gule kompakte juicy epler, kjølig men dampet smør preg, kalk, hvit sjokolade, og hvit kakaopulver. Boblene er fasit. Utrolig forførende syre. Perfekt mousse. Er så latterlig bra nå, men kan også ligge en evighet. Elsker hvor clean den er. Super sexy. Overrasket hvor tilgjengelig det er nå, men dette med noe mer fremtredende tertiære toner hadde nådd helt til topps, noe den vil gjøre. Komplett. 

98-100p.

Maturing into a medium golden color, the 1996 Salon reveals open-knit, alluring scents of butterscotch, dried apricots, pineapple upside-down cake, and preserved lemons, plus wafts of sea spray and praline. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers Salon’s classic razor-fine backbone of acidity with rich, evolved caramelized tropical fruit layers while the bubbles remain exquisitely tiny and persistent. It gives a very long, mineral-tinged finish.

Medium golden colored, the 1982 Salon comes bounding out of the glass with ready-to-go scents of apple butter, crème brûlée, preserved lemons, and candied ginger, with a beguiling undercurrent of jasmine tea. The palate is so light on its feet with a laser-precise backbone of crisp acidity offset by super-intense citrus and spice flavors, while maintaining impressively persistent fine bubbles, finishing very long and minerally. Superb!
