Champagne Salon Blanc de Blancs 2002 and 2004
The 2002 vintage shaped up magnificently over the spring, with no significant frost and near-perfect flowering. Then followed a summer marked by long, sunny periods interspersed with regular cloudy and rainy spells. The vines were in good health and the dehydration of the grape berries helped them reach new heights of ripeness. Generally considered one of the best harvests in the last twenty years.
The 2004 vintage saw an initial winter of mild temperatures with intermittent storms and hail. The spring and summer months were hot and sunny and the sugar levels late in September produced good quality fruits, especially for the Pinot Noir grapes. A rare decision was taken by the Salon team in 2004 to carry out a ‘vendage vert’ (green harvest) to thin the crop. A huge harvest in general for the region. Overall many experts believe that 2004 is one of the greatest vintages of the last two decades.

“The 2004 Salon (Edition 2019) is fabulous. That is hardly a surprise, as the 2004 has always been magnificent. Subtle, nuanced and classy to the core, the 2004 shows the more refined side of Salon. In that sense, it shares a good bit stylistically with both the 2007 and 2008, but much less so than with the 2006. Sweet floral notes add lift to a core of crystalline, mineral-infused Chardonnay fruit in a Salon that is precise, light on its feet and buffered by enough energy to drink well for decades to come. Disgorged: January, 2019.”

Leclerc Briant 150th Anniversary Limited Edition NV
To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the house, Hervé pays tribute to the history of the House by combining multiple vintages to create a truly exceptional blend. 30% of the cuvée comes from perpetual reserve wines, held as still wine in concrete, combined with the best champagnes in the cellar, which were re-opened from the legendary 2008 and 2009 vintages. This complex, and unique base was then blended and combined with their best barrels, from the 2014 vintage. Given 6 years on lees to settle and gain profound richness and complexity. The results are a rare, and deeply complex Champagne which combines the individuality of Leclerc Briant, with fiercely stimulating, low dosage and terroir driven styles, but with golden, umami richness. Only 3000 bottles were made of this special release, gift boxed and individually numbered, this one being number 686.

Krug 2003
The 2003 vintage was a year of many circumstances: dry winter and spring, very premature blooming, two serious frosts and a summer of scorching heat. With small yields, healthy grapes, extremely varied levels of maturity and over and under-ripeness, it was Krug’s respect of the individual expression of every plot that produced surprisingly fresh, aromatic and balanced wines. Krug decided to create a vintage for this particular year and named it “Vivacité Solaire” (Vivacious Radiance).

“Pale gold. Pungent nose. Very tight. Hint of putty on the nose. Opens out on the palate. Masses to chew on. Real concentration. Perfect for drinking now. Dry but complete. Intellectual and great balance. Very impressive.”
