Note di degustazione
The 2007 Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Louis Salmon, anchored in Chouilly and complemented by fruit from Cramant and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, saw half of the vins clairs vinified in wood, with malolactic fermentation largely blocked. Even after eight years on cork, it remains a comparatively lean rendition, emerging from the glass with aromas of lemon confit, pastry and linden blossom, mingled with hints of verbena. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, defined by taut musculature and an incisive spine of acidity that drives a long, citrus-inflected finish. While the fruit is beginning to exhibit the first nuances of evolution, the wine remains somewhat unyielding in texture and plenitude. It was disgorged in October 2018 with a dosage of seven grams per liter.

Deep greenish gold. Lime zest and layers of creaminess. Great balance (dosage 7 g/l apparently) and still pretty youthful. Just starting to open out. None of the oak that was evident on the nose when I tasted it before . Very much a Blanc de Blancs. Zesty rather than rich. (JR)
Will be shipped from August 2019. Disgorged December 2018. 50% oak fermentation. Just Mesnil, Chouilly and Cramant. Dosage 7 g/l. A bit of oak on the nose. Rather fresher than the 2006. Still quite chewy. Blustering. But it may settle down. Good freshness. This needs to lose its suggestion of oak on the nose. (JR)
