Salon Champagne 1996

Salon is one of the great names in Champagne for very good reason. It
is made only in great vintages (the decade of the eighties only produced
'82,'83,'85 and '88 ) with the emphasis in the production of this
exceptional wine being on the singular. Made by one man, Aime Salon;
from grapes from one village, the grand cru of Mesnil ( in the Cotes de
Blancs) This village grows the most sought after Chardonnay in
Champagne. Half of the vineyards that make the wine are owned by Salon
outright, and the other half come from farmers that Salon has been
working with for generations.

The vines average 40 years of age. Salon
suppresses malolactic fermentation for maximum freshness and longevity-an iconoclastic move for a Cote de Blanc producer.
This is the quintissential blanc de blancs champagne and the 1996 will
cellar for twenty to thirty years...Blanc de blancs champagnes
particularly Salon with no malo benefit from age.

Extraordinary lemon curd, laser like persistence, deeply layered with extraordinary complexity but this wine is a baby and needs time! 97
points Wine Enthusiast: "From the same 20 parcels in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger
as the house has used since its founding in 1921, this is the latest
release from Salon. It explodes in the mouth with mineral, steel and
flint. The tiny mousse has flavors of yeast with a touch of toast. It is
rich, but also austere and structured. Like many Salon Champagnes, this
will age for 20 years or more."

The Salon 1996 has been touted as the
greatest vintage since the legendary 1928.

Alfred Gratien Brut Classique NV

Founded in 1864 in Épernay, this traditional Champagne house ferments all base wines and reserve wines in oak barrels contributing depth and complexity. Chadonnay 45% , Pinot Noir 12% , Pinot Meunier 43% with no malolactic fermentation.

Complex and powerful flavours brimming with ripe apple, lemon/ lime zest ...layers of savoury flavours of bread and roast nuts. Dare I say it reminded me of Krug, Bollinger.

High Pinot Meunier component giving it aromatics/ lift and the chardonnay imparting lemon zing. Deluxe quality and value here. 94pts Peter Bourne, Gourmet Traveller Wine. Live it up!

Some Reviews:
“NV Alfred Gratien Brut is a very complex wine with an excellent mix of red and white grapes. Toast and vanilla overtones lend further character" ... “a bold style, with savoury, nutty lees flavours" "It’s very concentrated ... a hint of oak and lots of character”. "The dosage and acidity are deftly handled to give a soft, creamy balance and crisp finish”. Gourmet Traveller Wine. 5 Stars.

“Caramel notes on the nose. A broad red apple, developed style with a zesty mousse, and concentrated bready flavours. Up to 2 years”.

Jacquesson Cuvee 733

Recent visit to Jacquesson house in Champagne and tasting with Jean-Herve Chiquet confirmed the extraordinary calibre of this wine….. Jacquesson is the oldest independent family owned champagne house and was Napoleon's favourite house.

The family is deeply wedded to concept of terroir including organic practices in the vineyard…Incredible depth, elegance and finesse here.

A blanc de blanc style (52% chardonnay, 24% pinot, 24% pinot meunier) exclusively from grand and premier cru vineyards, base wines were fermented in old oak casks on lees. They champion quality ahead of champenoise obsession with similarity and consistency-they replaced the all important non vintage wine with a numbered cuvee Cuvee No 733 to identify and celebrate the spectacular 2005 vintage which comprises most of the blend. Their vineyards are in Grand Cru villages of Ay, Avize and Oiry and premier Cru of Hautvillers, Dizy and Mareuil-sur-Ay. Even Paul Krug cut his teeth at Jacquesson before relocating to start his own show later in Reims.

Jacquesson has been awarded 3 stars (the best and maximum ranking!) in Le Classement by La Revue du Vin de France. Le Classement is a ranking of the 1300 best domaines in France and only 56 domaines in France have 3 star status. Jacquesson together with Krug, Salon and 3 other champagne producers were awarded the 3 star status…

This is the best of the best. Sublime…Do not miss out! RRP: $ 95 Special Price $69.99
