S 2007 casket

Salon 2007 follows the principle of the house: only Chardonnay, only the Côte des Blancs, only Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, only one vintage. The bubbles are fine and fast. On the nose yuzu and lemon come through, and on the palate purity and directness dominate. Le Mesnil shows itself here with a stony character that gives the wine structure and resonance. The vintage feels youthful and sparkling and has the potential to age beautifully. The magnum is the ideal format for that.

Serve it chilled but not too cold: 13 to 15 °C is right, ideally in a large white wine glass. Oysters, Norwegian lobster or scallops are good partners. A Comté aged for 24 months is just as good a match, its nutty note underlining the citrus clarity of the wine.
