創立於1911年的Salon沙龍香檳是最特立獨行的香檳。創立本酒莊的Eugene-Aime Salon先生從一開始，就是為了釀造出自己心目中理想的香檳這個夢想而創立這個酒莊的，他是對任何小細節均不隨意妥協的完美主義者，一個世紀以來他的釀造理念一直毫不妥協地堅持下來。
Salon香檳酒莊獨特之處在於：
1) Salon香檳廠酒莊只釀造一款產品－Salon Le Mesnil Blanc de Blanc
2) 只採用單一品種Chardonnay白葡萄
3) 只採用自家Le Mesnil-sur-Oger特級(Grand Cru)葡萄園出產的原料葡萄
4) 只有在絕佳年份才釀製(平均10年內只會推出3-4個年份)
5) 不僅如此雖然法規規定年份香檳要窖藏3年才可以上市，但是Salon香檳則是堅持要窖藏10年左右！

A wine that just seems to go from strength to strength is Salon's 1997 Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Brut. The Maison kept back large stocks that they have gradually been disgorging over the last half-dozen years—it's still a commercial release and well worth seeking out. From a bottle disgorged in 2020, the wine wafts from the glass with scents of honeycomb, white flowers and orange rind, complemented by hints of burnt marmalade and exotic fruit. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's notably taut and chiseled for the vintage, with racy acids and a beautifully expressive mid-palate. This is really beginning to drink with real grace, and if it doesn't hit quite the same heights as the best bottles of 1996 Salon, I have found the 1997 notably more consistent. I suppose it was picked a touch early, given the botrytis pressure in 1997, but time is being very kind to this wine.
