(The following is from the importer's information) The 2006 vintage is back in stock! The 2006 Salon has been aged for over 15 years and is in excellent condition. It offers powerful aromas of honey apple and ripe pear, with a chalky minerality. A pleasant aroma reminiscent of baked goods emerges in the latter half of the wine's life. The palate reveals a substantial center of gravity and power. The acidity is perfectly balanced, with tremendous complexity. While it hasn't yet reached its peak, this is a truly impressive wine. There are no plans to restock after this current shipment is sold out, so be sure to secure yours soon.

Delamotte

A maison with a history of over 250 years

Founded in 1760 by François Delamotte, councilor of the city of Reims, it is a prestigious maison with a history of over 250 years.

The founder's eldest son, Nicolas Louis, was a Chevalier of the Knights of Malta, and when he ascended the throne as King Charles X in 1824, he attended as President of the Commercial Court and received the Legion of Honour.

Today, its headquarters have been moved from Reims to Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, and it is embarking on a new path as a sister maison to Salon.

The younger sister maison of the phantom champagne “Salon”
Salon only produces single-varietal, single-cru, single-harvest year Champagne, with only 30 vintages released over the past 100 years. This is why it is called a phantom champagne, but grapes from years that are not released are used for Delamotte.
Therefore, it is natural that there are some similarities with the Salon, and the Blanc de Blanc Mille Regime, which is an assemblage of Chardonnay from Cramant, Avize, Oger, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, has the feeling of Petit Salon. You can enjoy the elegance and complexity of the flavor that will leave you wanting more.
