The 2008 Brut Blancs de Blancs Louis Salmon is in the zone. What a gorgeous wine. Brisk and finely cut, with tremendous energy, the 2008 captures all the drive and tension of this important vintage. Crushed rocks, slate, mint, chalk, white pepper and sage all race across the palate. The precision here is just magnificent. The blend is 40% Chouilly, 33% Cramant, 20% Mesnil and 7% Avize, done 68% in steel and 32% in barrel, with 75% of the malolactic fermentation blocked. Dosage is 7.5 grams per liter.

Varietal Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

Region Champagne

The beautiful rolling hillsides of the Champagne region of France have, for hundreds of years, been producing many of the world's most famous wines. The sparkling white wines to come out of Champagne's prestigious wineries have conquered the world, and are drank in celebration across the globe. The vast majority of the region is under vine, and grows predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varietals, which are usually blended together by master wine-makers in order to make their recognizable and widely loved produce. The north-easterly region of Champagne has a relatively cool climate, and quite a lot of rainfall, making it far from ideal for ripening grapes. However, the presence of heavily forested areas in the region helps maintain a balanced temperature, and the generations of expertise the wineries hold clearly produces excellent results in spite of the climatic problems.

Decanter

A ripe and intense style, showing energy and vibrancy. Flinty, slightly earthy aromas that are more suggestive of long ageing in bottle. Sublime balance between salivating acidity, coy sweetness and richness. A reference for delicacy and refinement.

James Suckling

Complex and rich nose of dried apricot, lemon pith, dried pineapple, praline, hazelnut, white cocoa, chalk and nutmeg. Creamy and delicious fruit here, yet it’s mineral and refined with very fine, precise bubbles. Structured, with a sharp, persistent backbone of acidity. Long and very focused. Chardonnay from 40% Chouilly, 33% Cramant, 21% Mesnil-Sur Oger, 7% Avize. 67% vinified in stainless steel tank, 33% in oak barrels. Disgorged October 2020. 7g/l dosage. Drink or hold.

Wine Advocate

The 2008 Brut Blanc de Blancs Louis Salmon, disgorged in October 2020 with a dosage of 7.5 grams per liter, presents a comparatively generous interpretation of the vintage. It unfurls in the glass with aromas of orange oil, peach and pear mingled with top notes of bergamot and freshly baked pastry. On the palate, it is full-bodied, ample and layered, structured around a rich, concentrated core of fruit sustained by incisive acidity that lends persistence. Its textural attack unfurls into a long, lemon-inflected finish. Harvested in late September, the wine is sourced from the villages of Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Avize. Approximately one-third was vinified in oak, and—somewhat surprisingly for this cool, incisive vintage—malolactic fermentation was largely blocked; yet this decision does not appear to have imparted any austere edge to the wine.

Wine Enthusiast

Perfectly mature, this Champagne has richness as well as a taut mineral texture. The wine is delicious with its steely edge balanced by bright apple flavors. It is well ready to drink.

Wine Spectator

A tightly meshed Champagne, with flavors of white cherry, apricot, almond paste, preserved lemon and pickled ginger deftly knit to a firm backbone of steely acidity. Bright and refreshing, with a clean, briny note lingering on the refined finish. Disgorged May 2021. Drink now through 2033.

The 2008 Champagne Blanc de Blancs Louis Salmon Brut spent 12 years resting on its lees before release, with 7 grams per liter of dosage, and was disgorged in May of 2021. A medium straw with vibrant yellow color, it is a bit reserved initially on opening, but the nose unfolds to a layered and decadent bouquet with lemon curd, custard, green apple, and dusty earth. As it opens, it reveals more spiced notes that resonate on the palate, with graham crust, orange zest, and a bit of smoke. The texture is supple and inviting, with a long and expressive finish. Drink 2023-2038.
