About Champagne Salon
Salon is a bottle to seek through a trusted merchant or restaurant, rather than a public visit in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The house restricts visits to wine professionals and asks them to work through their local importer.
What is in the bottle
Salon makes one Champagne: vintage Blanc de Blancs from Chardonnay grown in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Its first vintage was 1905. Fruit comes from the Salon garden, a one-hectare plot, and nineteen smaller plots in the village. The house releases wine only from selected years and says the bottles spend about ten years in cellar on average.
Ask which vintage is available and how the bottle was stored. The house’s current site features 2015 alongside earlier releases; availability depends on the seller.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Salon’s identity is unusually specific: vintage Blanc de Blancs from Chardonnay in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, drawn from the Salon garden and nineteen other small plots. The house began with the 1905 vintage and releases wines selectively, after long cellar ageing. It is a bottle-led Champagne address rather than a public tasting stop.
Best For
Salon suits buyers looking for a single-village Chardonnay Champagne from a selected vintage. Check vintage and provenance through a retailer or restaurant; the house reserves visits for wine professionals.
Tasting Tips
Ask for the vintage and storage history. Salon makes the wine only in selected years and ages it in cellar for about ten years on average. General-public house tours are unavailable.
