1997 Salon Cuvee 'S' Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Champagne RP--95

Robert Parker: 95 Points
Wine Advocate # 192 Dec 2010 Antonio Galloni 95 Drink: 2012 - 2027 $245-$400 (500) Salon�s 1997 Brut Blanc de Blancs is drop-dead gorgeous. There is a beautiful tension between the intense minerality of Mesnil and the warmth of the vintage. Textural depth, brilliance and expressive inner perfume are the hallmarks of this gorgeous Blanc de Blancs. Flowers, mint and crisp varietal fruit linger on the impeccable finish. This is a particularly youthful, vibrant disgorgement of the 1997 that can be enjoyed now or cellared. Disgorged First Trimester, 2010 Anticipated maturity: 2012-2027.
