A Rare Vintage Expression of Prestige and Purity

Crafted solely from Chardonnay grown in the Grand Cru vineyards of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, the 1997 Salon Cuvée ‘S’ is an exceptional Blanc de Blancs Champagne produced only in rare vintages. Known for its elegance, longevity, and precision, this vintage embodies the essence of Salon’s philosophy: singularity and patience.
