2004 Salon Cuvee 'S' Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs, Champagne

James Suckling says: ‘The 2002 Salon is phenomenal quality. I tasted it in BYC yesterday. I was mesmerized. It is a subtle & intense Champagne that shows complex characters of lilac, minerals, sliced lemon, apple and white pepper. It is full-bodied and dense yet racy & agile with a lightness & freshness. It has a gloriously long finish. It changes every moment in the glass. It has such clarity. It’s magnificent to drink now, but shows great texture for aging – 99 points’.
