A Tip on Starting a Salon Champagne Collection

If you want to open a bottle of Salon soon, consider buying an older vintage made from grapes harvested at least 30 years ago. These wines will have a doughy and sometimes smoky taste in addition to the bright citrus fruit flavours that persist over the decades.
