Critics Ratings

'Very direct, intense nose. Super-pure, straight up the nose and a rather drier, less juicy impression than the 2006 or 2007. Racy and pure. Punchy with an explosive finish.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com. 18/20 (Oct 2004)

'Salon's releases are rare and signify a great vintage-the last release was the 2002. Coming from grand cru vineyards in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, this 2004 is complex and concentrated, capturing the essence of Chardonnay in Champagne. Intense minerality and ripe apple and citrus fruits accompany the purity and crisp texture that are part of its ability to age. The wine can continue for many years, certainly to 2025 and beyond' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 98/100 (Dec 2016)
