Champagne House Salon stands as a true icon in the world of wine – a symbol of prestige, rarity, and unwavering dedication to quality. Founded in the early 20th century by visionary Eugène-Aimé Salon, the house established a clear philosophy: to create the perfect Champagne using only Chardonnay grapes, from a single vineyard, a single village, and a single vintage.
Salon is produced only in the most exceptional years, with an average of just four vintages per decade. Over the entire 20th century, only 37 vintages were released, making it one of the rarest and most sought-after Champagnes in the world. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is aged on the lees for around ten years in Salon’s cellars before release – resulting in a Champagne of remarkable complexity, elegance, and depth.
