1999 Salon Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Champagne
1999 Salon Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne AOC France 9712%, 750 ml, $350
Elegant, fine and lean with smoky, chalky, tarry mineral notes, feral, nutty, mushroomy Meursault-like notes, and citrus and green apple on the long, expressive finish. This is not a showstopper but rather an incredible expression of one of the best Chardonnay vineyards in Champagne.
