Cuvée Louis Salmon Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Champagne, France
The 2008 Brut Blancs de Blancs Louis Salmon is fabulous. It offers a compelling mix of 2008 energy and the complexity that develops with time in the bottle. Orchard fruit, spice, dried flowers, chamomile and tangerine peel all grace this exquisite, nuanced Champagne. Readers can expect a rich, broad Champagne endowed with notable textural intensity. Hints of marzipan, lemon confit and white flowers linger. Disgorged: October 2020. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2023)

Best champagne I had ever. A race horse.

2008 vintage. May as well be the 2022 vintage as this will be extremely long-lived. Persistent acidity push framed with Bartlett pear and Pippin apple flavors. So little brioche/yeast/bready flavors but a really striking, textural hint of oiliness. Fresh as a daisy and just may outlive, with finesse/elegance, many reading this. My apologies. The Spring season encapsulated for the next quarter century. Expecting this to evolve at a glacial pace. @Bill Bender This did not suck.

Josh, the Sommelier at Lakeside Wynn, is a delight much like this wine he recommended

Young and full potential to be spectacular. Apple and brioche in the nose, I. The mouth a lot happens, of course it’s fresh but also there is complexity and concentration.

This could age for a while yet. Still fresh but has the creamy aged champagne notes. Lemon and curd notes. Great
