Champagne Salmon 100% Meunier Brut NV (Magnum 1.5L) Over 45% Off Salmon Meunier Magnums!

Fresh off the container from France, this special bottling of 100% pinot meunier grapes is a rare treat! Hailing from the small town of Chaumuzy, Champagne Salmon is a three-generation winemaking family founded in 1958. They exclusively maintained their grower-producer status for the last 30 years, keeping things small and always “in the family”. They farm 10 hectares (85% of which is planted to pinot meunier) situated in the Vallée de l’Ardre, a commune on the western edge of the Montagne de Reims, roughly halfway between Epernay and the city of Reims. This is a tiny production winery that exports only 10% of its production… which is why we are absolutely thrilled to have a few dozen of these available today. Did we mention it is a solid $80 below retail? It is Magnum Madness, after all…

The wine is singing its glorious stone fruit song, balancing creamy richness with cheek-tingling freshness, and developed notes of bold hazelnuts and toasted brioche, with gingerbread and sweet white raisins. Seductively unctuous and as pure as the driven snow, this is the perfect time of year to dive headlong into this sort of bubbly. Under $100 for a rare and beautiful creature like this? Who loves ya?  

Fun Fact: Winemaker Alexandre is a competitive hot air balloon racer, and all three generations of the family are avid aviators… hence the balloon on the label. Cool, right?
