Key Details
- Release Status: The 2015 vintage is the 8th 21st-century release and the 45th overall expression of Salon in 120 years.
- Growing Season: Characterized by a warm, dry, sunny summer with record sunlight, balanced by mid-August rain and cooler September weather (harvest began September 8).
- Tasting Profile: Features citrus zest, white flowers, chalky minerality, cooked apples, and jasmine, with a full-bodied, silky texture, fine bubbles, and a brioche/croissant finish. It offers a slightly richer, more approachable fruit expression with a lower acidity and freshness profile compared to cooler-year predecessors like 2012, 2013, and 2014.
