JS Tasting Note:
The 2002 is a fabulous vintage, clearly on the same level as the great and structured 1996. Salon is a unique
Blanc de Blancs because it ages so well. It's more like a top grand cru white Burgundy than a Champagne in
structure with a great depth and density of fruit, bright linear backbone of acidity, and incredible length.
The 2002 Salon is phenomenal quality. I tasted it in New York City yesterday. I was mesmerized.
It is a subtle and intense Champagne that shows complex character of lilac, minerals, sliced lemon,
apple, and white pepper. It is full body and dense yet racy and agile with a lightness and freshness.
It has a gloriously long finish. It changes every moment in the glass. It has such clarity. It's magnificent
to drink now, but shows great texture and structure for aging....99" JS 03/14
