Salon is one of the more rareified bottles of Champagne going around. The sister house to Delamotte (both now owned by Laurent Perrier), this is a striking champagne only made in certain years. All tolled after first being produced in 1905, this 2013 edition is the 44th release in 120 or so years. 

Made from a select 20 plots this is a Champagne of intensity and quality with a a league of devoted fans around the world. With approximately 60,000 bottles produced this is becoming harder and harder to come by.

2013 was a vintage following the elite years of 2008 and 2012, a year that was touch and go in periods but made the it through the arduous selection criteria. A vintage that is finely detailed yet richly textured. Floral and intense with a slow rolling power that builds and builds. This is a a year that climaticly said no vintage wine would be produced, yet under adversity and with great care a wine of immense beauty has been sculpted, to set itself apart from the classic years and stand on its own, rich, glorious and powerful.
