CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2012 Brut Blancs de Blancs Louis Salmon is a large-scale, ample wine. A rich, heady Champagne, the 2012 has started to open nicely. It is far more expressive today than it was a year ago. Even so, this remains a very young Champagne, one that needs time to shed some of its considerable baby fat. Baked apple tart, dried flowers, mint and dried citrus peel are some of the many nuances that emerge over time. Tropical notes wrap around the substantial finish. Dosage is 3.9 grams per liter. Disgorged: January 2023.

100% of the Chardonnay grapes came from the Grand Cru villages of Mesnil-sur-Oger, Chouilly, Cramant and Oiry. 25% were fermented in oak. Only partial malolactic conversion. Disgorged in early 2023 with a dosage of 3.9 g/l. Pale lemon colour and a wine that opens up in the glass; it might even be one of those champagnes worth decanting for this is initially very tight. But then reveals citrus and then floral aromas and a very bracing, revitalising palate. The sort of champagne to be served as a luxurious aperitif. With time in the glass it also reveals hazelnut notes. Impressively long. No hurry to drink this. (JR)
