Champagne Cuvée S Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Magnum Brut 2008

93+
/100

100 procent Sangiovese, vinen er en blanding fra alle 11 Felsina-vinmarker. Hver vinmark vinificeres separat, og først i slutningen af lagringsprocessen, kort før aftapning, finder blandingen sted. Et års lagring i store 39 HL, 50 HL og 69 HL træfade, omkring ti procent lagres i brugte barriques. Derefter følger seks måneders flaskelagring, før vinen kommer på markedet. Næsen er indbegrebet af de intense, overdådigt frugtagtige og krydrede Felsina-vine. Mørke skovbær med laurbærblade, peber, nelliker, rustikt krydrede, æteriske urter og varm, friskbrændt lermineralitet. Men den cremede, runde, saftige næse dækker over enkelheden, for Sangioveses friskhed slår igennem i munden! Frodig, saftig, vibrerende frisk rød kirsebærfrugt med solbær og fin kridtholdig tanninstruktur og -spænding. Tjære og grafitlignende mineralitet i eftersmagen. En gribende struktur med jordagtigt krydderi - denne Chianti katapulterer mig direkte ind i regionen.

Galloni om: Champagne Cuvée S Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Magnum Brut

The 2008 Salon is simply extraordinary. Sadly, there will only be 8,000 magnums for the world, as President Didier Depond took the unusual and dramatic decision to bottle the entire 2008 harvest in magnum only, which is a huge decrease over the typical production (when Salon is made) of closer to 60,000 bottles. In the glass, the 2008 is simply extraordinary. Soft and silky, with breathtaking finesse, the 2008 dazzles with a stunning interplay of bright Chardonnay fruit, soaring perfume and crystalline precision. A kaleidoscope of aromas, flavors and textures captivates all the senses. The 2008 remains young and austere, but like so many wines in this great vintage, Salon has an extra dimension of textural depth that keeps it from being austere. It is quite simply one of the most magnificent Champagnes I have ever tasted. The 8,000 magnums will be sold in a special wooden case with 2 bottles each of 2007, 2006 and 2002. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. Disgorged: January, 2019.

Parker om: Champagne Cuvée S Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Magnum Brut

Disgorged in January 2019 with six grams per liter dosage, Salon's 2008 Brut Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil is a striking wine, unwinding in the glass with scents of citrus oil, fresh bread, crisp green apple, white flowers, smoke and oyster shell. Full-bodied, layered and incisive, it's deep and concentrated, with a tightly coiled core of fruit that's underpinned by a racy spine of acidity. Seamless and unerringly precise, it concludes with a long and penetratingly mineral finish. Immense though its potential for aging is, its intensity and balance make it pleasurable as well as persuasive, even today. Given the eye-watering price of this magnum-only release, I was determined to hold the wine to the highest possible standards, but it surpasses even the prodigious 1996 and surely ranks as the finest Salon since at least the 1970s. In short, this is a Blanc de Blancs that admits no argument.

Decanter om: Champagne Cuvée S Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Magnum Brut

Some highly anticipated releases have a way of disappointing after raising expectations to an unrealistic level. Fortunately, that is not the case here. Production was limited to 8,000 magnums, sold only in assorted cases with two bottles each of 2004, 2006, and 2007. The aromas initially showcase ripe apple, lemon peel and chalky minerality touched with a hint of brioche from the decade spent on the lees. Despite the time in the cellar, the wine remains intensely youthful, with a texture that is vibrant and crisp and a substantial, creamy feel that suggests near-perfect balance. This Champagne is among the greatest wines Salon has ever produced and should age gracefully for decades to come.

S'et i Salon kunne også stå for "superlativ". Der produceres kun én champagne fra de bedste steder for Chardonnay i Champagne, og kun i de bedste år.
