Bright and focused the 2015 captures a gorgeous stylsitic middle ground between the riper and cooler years. The flavor profile leans towards the more citrus floral and mineral-driven end of the spectrum typical of cooler years and yet the wine is also wonderfully open-knit and accessible with no hard edges and the textural balance that is more common in warmer years. It's a duality that works extremely well. There is a savory undertone typical of the year but it is a strand in the fabric rather than a dominant characteristic. I left a bottle open for more than a week during which I observed virtually no oxidation. The 2015 might not be as overtly impressive as some recent years rather it is a Champagne of cool sophistication and total polish. Unusually the 2015 is being released ahead of the 2014.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95 Wine Spectator - \u003cspan\u003eInitially reduced on the nose this opens with air to reveal rich notes of toasted brioche and smoked hazelnut layered with white peach baked pineapple and tangerine sorbet flavors plus a minerally underpinning of oyster shell and chalk. The plush mousse offers a luxe cashmere like feel while carrying the rich range of flavors trimmed nicely by chiseled lemony acidity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"REGAL WINE COMPANY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50634201268530,"sku":"089419365047","price":1450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/products\/Salon_800x_4e65514e-a764-4c70-a914-44509710ab05.jpg?v=1634832401","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/2015-salon-champagne-brut-blanc-de-blancs-le-mesnil","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
