1997 Salon Cuvee 'S' Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Brut

"The pure essence of limestone, this vintage is maturing into the grandeur of a great Le Mesnil Champagne while remaining fresh and lively. It offers rich lemon curd and baked apple flavors, chalky power and gravitas without weight. The flavors remain impacted below the limestone earthiness, the wine's structure and balance suited to extended aging." Wine & Spirits - 96 Points
