Salon is a distinguished Champagne house renowned for its exceptional Blanc de Blancs, crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grapes sourced from the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs. Founded in 1921 by Eugène-Aimé Salon, a Parisian furrier with a passion for viticulture, the winery was established with the vision of producing a single-vineyard, single-varietal Champagne that would rival the finest wines of the region. Salon meticulously selected the "Jardin de Salon" vineyard, a one-hectare plot in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, to create his ideal Champagne.
Salon produces only one wine, the **Salon Blanc de Blancs**, which is released only in exceptional vintages. The wine is known for its purity, elegance, and remarkable aging potential, often requiring several years of cellaring to reach its peak. The meticulous winemaking process includes extended aging on the lees, contributing to its complexity and depth.
Today, Salon operates under the ownership of Champagne Laurent-Perrier, maintaining its commitment to quality and tradition. The winery continues to produce its iconic Blanc de Blancs, embodying Eugène-Aimé Salon's original vision and the exceptional terroir of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
