Score 97/100 · Drink 2017-2022, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2017

Salon’s 1979 is one of my favorite Champagnes from this historic vintage. The interplay of aromas and textures is captivating, as is the nervous energy that makes the best 1979 Champagnes so compelling. This is a fabulous bottle.

The 1979 Salon was unquestionably the showstopper here. It was easily the freshest of these wines, with its signature taut, focused personality in full bloom. This Champagne came across as incredibly youthful and vibrant. It was truly mesmerizing.
