Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 97 AG.
". . . things get back on track quickly with the 1988 Salon, a wine that is absolutely peaking today. From one of the all-time great vintages in Champagne the 1988 Salon exudes power and explosive intensity, with superb balance and pulsating acidity that gives the wine its drive. A host of candied lemon peel, hazelnut, smoke, licorice and anise overtones meld into the super-expressive finish. Disgorged à la volée, with no dosage." Vinous, Jun 2016
Provenance: The Montagne Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $1,500
