Cuvée Louis er Blanc de Blancs-modstykket til Rosé Elisabeth, prestige-cuvéen lavet af husets bedste Chardonnay-druer. Opkaldt efter Elisabeth Salmons bror. På trods af frost og haglbyger i foråret og en meget varm og tør sommer gav 2012-årgangen, der var præget af kontraster, alligevel fremragende druer. Druerne kommer fra Grands Crus i Cote des Blancs: Chouilly (40 %) og Cramant (33 %) giver cremethed og finesse, mens Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (20 %) og Avize (7 %) giver den mineralske rygrad. I overensstemmelse med årgangen viser næsen moden gul frugt, fingerlime og grapefrugt med butterdej og hvid peber underneden. Ekstremt puristisk og klar i munden på trods af sin enorme kraft. Et fremragende udtryk for Chardonnay. Drikkes bedst ikke for koldt (10 til 12 grader) og af større vinglas for at få det fulde spektrum. Degorgeret i foråret 2023.

Suckling om: Champagne Cuvée Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut

Incredible aromas of brioche, bread dough and pie crust with superb, electrifying fruit, from peaches to fresh apples. It’s driven, mouthwatering and with fantastic structure, yet it’s so balanced and creamy. Very fine and silky bubbles. It’s better and better as it warms slightly in the glass. 3.9g/L dosage. Drink or hold.

Galloni om: Champagne Cuvée Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut

The 2012 Brut Blancs de Blancs Louis Salmon is a large-scale, ample wine. A rich, heady Champagne, the 2012 has started to open nicely. It is far more expressive today than it was a year ago. Even so, this remains a very young Champagne, one that needs time to shed some of its considerable baby fat. Baked apple tart, dried flowers, mint and dried citrus peel are some of the many nuances that emerge over time. Tropical notes wrap around the substantial finish. Dosage is 3.9 grams per liter. Disgorged: January 2023.

Parker om: Champagne Cuvée Louis Salmon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut

A 100% Chardonnay, sourced from vines planted in the communes of Mesnil-sur-Oger, Chouilly, Cramant, and Oiry, the 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Louis Salmon evokes aromas of lemon oil, pastry, baked bread, walnuts and chalk. Medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, it's vinous, almost creamy, with a layered, delicate structure that leads to a delicately citrusy, long and delicate finish. This Champagne is built to age, thanks to the power of the 2012 vintage and the house's signature tension. Disgorged in the second quarter of 2023 with 3.9 grams per liter dosage, it was matured 75% in stainless steel and 25% in barrels.
