Lot 71 Details
SALON CHAMPAGNE BLANC DE BLANCS BRUT 2008

Champagne.

Seamless and unerringly precise, it concludes with a long and penetratingly mineral finish. Immense though its potential for aging is, its intensity and balance make it pleasurable as well as persuasive, even today. Given the eye-watering price of this magnum-only release, I was determined to hold the wine to the highest possible standards, but it surpasses even the prodigious 1996 and surely ranks as the finest Salon since at least the 1970s. In short, this is a Blanc de Blancs that admits no argument. March 2021 WA 100

1 mag.    per lot $6,000 - $7,000

Realised: $4,800
