Salon

Salon is a unique Champagne house. Not only is it the smallest of the grandes marques but, it is also defined by three criteria that were unique until Krug started producing its Clos du Mesnil in 1979: it is made from a single variety, Chardonnay; from a single but outstanding village, Mesnil; and is only made as a vintage wine. That means that in many years no Salon is produced. In fact, the release of more than three vintages in a decade is considered a lot.
