Had the 15 Salon two-weeks ago. After, I had this cuvée and their 2018 Delamotte. Not really a fair order. So tonight, thought I’d give it one. Been awhile since I enjoyed this cuvée.
In the rare case, Salon does not declare a vintage, this is where that fruit goes. So…when & if, buy this n/v.
Nice mousse, crispy, racy acidity. Lime pulp with zest, lemon pulp, green/golden apple, white stone fruit, some yellow peach, kiwi, tropicals, frothy, steamed whole milk, caramel, vanillin to vanillin, excellent white spice, palate penetrating volcanic minerals, limestone marl, brilliant chalky powder with bits, some yeastiness, baguette crust, brioche, toffee & butterscotch notes, almost a sweetish herbaceous quality, daffodils, white flowers set in greens with a nicely rounded, knitted, balanced, spot on tension and a 90 second, elegant finish that long sets on spice & volcanic. — a month ago
Mineral & lemon on the nose, body full & rich with medium long finish — 8 months ago
Food friendly. Great for a holiday gathering. Not showing its age. — 4 months ago

vintage 2024 | Sauvignon blanc can be very expressive with that cat urine smell. Not this wine, buxus smell and a refreshing acidity. Civilized refinement. Paired with coquilles. — 2 days ago
