这是一款珍世佳酿,气泡轻舞,引人垂涎。

沙龙(Salon)是一款独一无二的香槟。在这款具备卓越气质的佳酿中,汇聚着唯一的特性:源自创始人艾梅·沙龙(Aimé Salon)先生一个人的香槟,产自唯一的风土,香槟地区的白丘产区,唯一的村庄勒梅尼勒叙罗热,使用霞多丽这一唯一的葡萄品种,而所有这一切,仅在最好的年份出产。

不同凡响

第一款沙龙香槟于1905年问世,凝聚了一个男人对香槟和勒梅尼勒叙罗热当地风土的无限激情。艾梅·沙龙根据严苛的酿造标准,最终打造出了自己梦想中的香槟:这款是一款史无前例的白中白佳酿,最先只为满足自己的个人乐趣而酿造,直至1920年他才将这款酒中珍葩与众人分享。

这款香槟采用的主要原材源自占地只有一公顷的“沙龙花园”(Jardin Salon),以及另外十九个位于勒梅尼勒叙罗热村庄的小规模种植地块,所有产地均由艾梅·沙龙在二十世纪初精心甄选。所有葡萄酒都在酒窖内历经了平均十年的漫长陈年过程,得以最终淋漓展示其复杂细腻的口感。

沙龙酒庄的酒窖内保存了几乎所有已上市销售的年份香槟。在这个空间,回忆有着超乎寻常的意义。

在二十世纪,酒庄仅出产了37款年份酒,这在整个葡萄酒产业也算绝无仅有。

如今,沙龙香槟及其姐妹品牌德乐梦香槟由迪迪埃·德庞(Didier Depond)先生和Laurent-Perrier集团的酒窖主管及生产总监米歇尔·弗索耐(Michel Fauconnet)先生联合管理。

年份

虽然经历了寒冷的冬季以及漫长冷冽的初春, 2013 年的葡萄藤幸免于霜冻的影响。在丰润的雨水从 4 月到 7 月的浇灌下,葡萄藤发芽到开花期顺利进展,这也为我们带来了 9 月底至 10 月初丰盛的收获。在葡萄园里,我们悉心观察每块土地和每株葡萄,相对应地给予它们所需要的照料。2013 年整个夏季都非常炎热,阳光炽热,雷电冰雹天气交织给各地都带来了不同程度的损失, 9 月秋季以强势姿态到来,葡萄们逐渐成熟,直到 10 月 1日在 Salon 葡萄园的剪刀声中才开始了收获季。恶劣天气和严格拣选降低了收成,但不得不说 2013 年的果实仍然表现非常出色,产量达到每公顷 13000 公斤。霞多丽的酒精度和酸度表现优异,也为我们预示着一个强有力的精彩年份!

沙龙2012年份香槟:微笑之酒

年份

2012年的初冬含蓄温和,2月份却给我们来了一个下马威,温度骤降到零下十几度,甚至零下二十几度,霜冻严重。3月份天气温和,葡萄藤顺利冒出苞芽。但是紧接着4月份降雨量很大,加上几个晴朗少云的夜晚,气温降低,接踵而来的又是一波霜冻,接下来又是持续降雨,直到7月,葡萄藤已经不再需要过多的雨水。葡萄开花时的气温仍然较低,暖阳并没有如期而至,使得葡萄藤有一丝失望。终于,象征热量的8月来临,但是月初过于炎热。葡萄之前长期处于特别潮湿的状态,之后又极度干燥,忍受着各种极端情况,导致产量并不丰盈。
Le Mesnil-sur-Oger特级村的采收期于9月17号开始,采收之后会发生什么呢?
大自然的鬼斧神工,加之酿酒桶中的奇妙变化,展示给我们的是一个奇迹。一款伟大的葡萄酒在静静地孕育,隐藏着神秘微笑,仿佛在对我们说:“吓到你了吧!”。所有的一切都具备了,糖分,卓越的酸度,出色的陈年能力,我们需要做的就只有等待。果农们也因此露出了欣慰的笑容。

Champagne Salon 2008

沙龙2008年份香槟:梦想之酒

演示

沙龙香槟追忆着曾经。上世纪1910年代,沙龙先生(Eugène-Aimé Salon)有一个执念和梦想,要在最好的年份、也仅在这一年份中,以单一葡萄品种霞多丽酿出一款香槟,完美的呈现霞多丽在le Mesnil-sur-Oger小镇的土壤中形成的神奇微妙的香气及口感。
以独一无二之态,彰显瑰丽璨然风姿,打造傲世之香槟。
沙龙2008年份香槟体现了对完美的追求,直至超越完美。酒窖陈年的寂静令它反射出大自然的动容之美。于此,令人惊艳的矿物感气息生成,令口腔中白垩岩气息延绵不断、席卷感官;于此,超越众人期待、极为阳刚的葡萄酒逐步成型;于此,绝佳的矿物质感预示其无穷的陈年潜力。大自然完成它的至臻杰作、终至平衡。

年份

葡萄藤经历暖冬和多雨的春季,接着在寒冷的六月初开花。得益于葡萄藤在寒气中的坚强不屈,和上苍对葡萄酒农的格外眷顾,让六月终于展示出应有的夏季本性。最终的采收成果令人满意,尽管产量不高,但葡萄的品质依属上乘。采收日于天气完美的八月确立,但九月初的乌云还是让人有些担心。幸好,在le Mesnil-sur-Oger小镇,沙龙香槟的霞多丽葡萄缓慢但稳健的完成熟成,且香气口感持续成型直至9月17日采收之际。
恰恰是2008年复杂的气候条件,打造了这个年份独一无二的特性。用“非凡惊喜”仍远不足以描述最终成果,它是霞多丽在自然和匠人的鬼斧神工、相辅相成下达成的辉煌巅峰之作。

侍酒

品饮温度不能太低,一般在13-15度之间即可。保证品饮后心情愉悦。

品鉴

倒入杯中,2008年份彰显沙龙本色:黄钻般晶莹剔透,带有绿色光泽;闻之则有一股深邃强劲的土壤气息;入口结构紧实,口感均衡,逐渐展现出超群的复杂和平衡。砾石风味出现,强劲的矿物感侵袭味蕾,白垩岩的酸度锋利、纤长、绵延不尽,俄顷让人唇齿收敛,俄顷又让人口舌生津。 最终,伴随细密的气泡,整个口感有如鲜花怒放,让人沉醉不已。

食物搭配

沙龙2008年份香槟源于大自然——凝聚了天空、土壤与大海的精华。它能搭配世界各地的精致佳肴。无论是外婆做的菜,还是人生中第一口松露、第一口生蚝、第一口鱼子酱、第一口酸橘汁腌鱼,亦或是第一口美味的天妇罗,沙龙2008年份香槟常伴左右,宽容又豪爽醇厚,历久弥新,像场绮丽的梦。

2004年份沙龙香槟:宁静之选

演示

沙龙香槟举世无双。它不仅是香槟地区伟大创意的结晶,也是对传统酿造技艺的突破与超越。20世纪伊始,一位名叫欧也内-艾梅·沙龙(Eugène-Aimé Salon)的香槟佳酿忠实拥趸致力于打造源自同一年份、同一产区的顶级琼浆。于是他在位于白丘(Côte des Blancs)腹地的梅斯尼尔-苏尔-奥戈尔产区精选了上等霞多丽葡萄,首支经典白中白香槟便由此诞生。传奇延续至今:沙龙香槟无疑是集丰富质感与纯粹享受于一体的至尊陈酿。

年份

2004年份,整个香槟地区的收获季姗姗来迟,素以果实酸甜度完美平衡著称的传奇产区白丘梅斯尼尔-苏尔-奥戈尔亦不例外。看似缓慢的节奏却造就了丰满盈润的葡萄。7月决定进行“疏果采摘”以获取糖分更为集中的饱满果实。凉爽多雨的8月令葡萄迅速成长成熟。到了9月2日,阳光如期而至,满载而归的收获季指日可待。完美的成熟度与恰到好处的酸度于9月23日达到顶峰:葡萄园释放出最为惊人的活力。从葡萄藤蔓、土壤,再到风力、雨水、阳光,一切优质条件合为一体,方才酿成如此沉稳尊贵、纯然惊艳的顶级美酒:2004年份沙龙香槟。

尊贵年份佳酿
入口感觉直接,纯粹中带着恰到好处的酸度。口感极佳的咸味源自成熟饱满的霞多丽葡萄,独具特色的品质早在酿制初期便已形成,且伴随甜美的圆面包口味。酒体于陈酿氧化过程中逐渐丰满圆润,日益醇厚的品质与原本的酸度完美平衡。同所有顶级美酒一样,2004年份沙龙香槟于最终回味之时略带苦味。

Champagne Salon 1999

Salon 1999 Champagne Natural sophistication 37th and last vintage of the 20th century, Salon 1999 Champagne has stirring perfection, the future power of an adolescent. Devilish beauty

Presentation

37, the final count. There have only been 37 years worthy of Salon Champagne during the entire 20th century.

37 vintages, all different, all sublime, all unique, like this exceptional Salon Champagne, for which the word “one” is of prime importance: originally the champagne of one man, Aimé Salon, cultivated on one stretch of land, the Côte des Blancs, from one vineyard, Mesnil-sur-Oger, from one type of grape, Chardonnay and one year.

1999 is the thirty-seventh and last vintage of the 20th century: a wild nature, to be tamed, with power and expectancy, looking to a glorious future, still imminent.
It has the crazy charm of adolescence, this devilish beauty that is being transformed into magnificence.

The vintage

The most abundant grape harvest in the history of Champagne! One of the warmest years of the century! But, on the heels of a fairly mild winter and a warm early spring came a series of hailstorms. The weather settled and the Chardonnay grape flowers bloomed on 11 June – magnificent. Rain in early July and a surprise month of August: a cold spell and an eclipse of the moon on the 11th. The harvest promised to be splendid, started well but ended with rain. Production, which was already significant, increased further. However, some winegrowers were able to reduce the weight of the vines at the right time: as a result, the wines gained in alcohol content (an average of 10%) with a low level of acidity of 6.3% due to the heat of the summer and rain during picking. Powerful, profound, lively and complex wines.

Terroir

Soil and vintage: adolescent turmoil
What is this conflict, this duel creating confusion in 1999 Salon? Will soil or the vintage reign victorious over the other?
On one hand, the chalky “minerality” and vivacity specific to the soil of Mesnil-sur-Oger. On the other, the depth and sensual roundness that reflect the character of the vintage, without the over-ripeness sometimes found. It is from the tension between these forces that the 1999 Salon takes its personality – this delicate balance between proud adolescence, created from the potential of decades, given by its immense “minerality”, and its youthful ardour, extensive but under control. Fine character and devilish charm.

Serving

Savour it, drink it barely cold, between 13° and 15°. Sensual pleasure assured.

Tasting

A very pale yellow with barely green hints and a lively nose but still discreet, 1999 Salon, with its clear immediate taste, has that juvenile grace that captures the palate, itself straight, firm and textured. A quite natural sophistication that is a gift and persists just like the creamy bubbles.
Brioche, white bread, white blossom, white fruit and bitter almond flavours are still developing. The middle palate and aftertaste are crystalline and it has a lingering finish with hints of citrus.
Ten years is all it has taken the 1999 Salon to reach dazzling maturity. Decades will follow.

Food pairings

Exquisite, delicate, gracious and subtle dishes. Warm oysters and Aquitaine caviar, a lightly cooked sea bass with a truffle risotto or calf’s sweetbreads with morel mushrooms. An excellent Parma or Iberico ham, the centre of a Parmesan cheese, aged for thirty-six months. Or simply by itself, with grilled almonds.

Champagne Salon 1997

Salon 1997: A sensuality of silk. Rare Salon vintages : the 36th vintage of Salon, and as its pinacle of sensuality the 1997 vintage.

Presentation

Throughout winter and spring the climate alternated between mild weather and extreme cold.
On June 11th, flowering began in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
Summer was hot and dry, making for excellent ripening conditions. The harvest commenced on September 22nd; during picking the weather was summery but with cold evening temperatures, which encouraged good acidity.

Tasting

The wine is pearlescent. A pale, lustrous gold with a fine, lively mousse.

The nose is complex yet ethereal. Wonderfully refined, it is intriguing and enticing. Its minerality complemented by hints of white flowers, acacia and hawthorn. A salty note enhances aromas of bread crust, brioche and the merest hint of green apple and hazelnut.

The palate is quintessentially pure, the very epitomy of balance and restraint. Exuberant on attack the mousse becomes more of a caress whilst bubbles dance playfully on the palate; its delicate allure emulating the sensuous grace of a silk veil at dawn.
Mastery character, elegance and bright vitality – Complex indeed.

Salon 1997: It is difficult to encapsulate where so many complementary and contradictory elements come together in such harmony. The finesse of silk, persistence, innate depth and power are allied to a lightness of touch. Serve slightly chilled between 13° and 15°C and its true subtlety will be revealed - feminine and seductive, voluptuousness without bounds.

Food pairings

Choose rare, but very simple dishes to accompany Salon Le Mesnil 1997

Its refined femininity and mysterious pale gold are in harmony with rare, noble produce: the exquisite freshness of the sea, scallop carpaccio, steamed lobster and spring vegetables, an adventurous risotto with strawberries and foie gras or simply a fine Parma ham, an Iberico or the heart of a 36-month matured parmesan.

Champagne Salon 1996

Champagne Salon 1996 : A pinnacle

Presentation

One grape variety, one cru, one year – Salon Le Mesnil (first vintage 1905) was created by Aimé Salon, a passionate gentleman obsessed with perfection. His idea of Champagne was to fashion a masterpiece of balance and elegance, an explosive Champagne full of seductive aromas, full of character, yet subtle: Thus was born Salon Le Mesnil. Only a few thousand bottles are made in carefully selected vintages and offered for sale some ten years later.
The 1996 vintage – at the top of this rare, elite collection – is being compared to the legendary 1928.

The vintage

Rare are the vintages of Salon Le Mesnil, only 37 have been produced in the past century. Each new vintage has been a peak in the landscape of Champagne. Now Salon Le Mesnil is reaching the summit of the Himalayas with its 1996 vintage. Exploding with aromas and freshness, this new vintage offers breathtaking heights and extraordinary character.

In the vineyard

1996: Auspicious flowering on the summer solstice
Thanks to a warm spring, the vines flowered on June 21 in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Flowering on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, is regarded as especially auspicious by the growers of Champagne. From this moment on, the intensity of the Côte des Blancs Grand Cru Chardonnay began to develop its unique characteristics, richness in sugar and high level of acidity. The Chardonnay grapes reached their maturity on September 23 in our vineyards of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger at which time hand-picking took place under the best conditions.

Serving

It is a virile, strongly built wine with restrained power, “feline like a snow tiger”, adds Depond. Taste it lightly chilled (between 13° and 15° – 55-60 F), so it reveals all its power, richness and penetrating aromas.

Tasting

Salon Le Mesnil 1996 is a pale yellow wine with hints of green, “as bright as the morning sun light on the highest snow caps” says Didier Depond, chairman of Champagne Salon Le Mesnil. With fine, active bubbles, it has both the electricity and impertinence of youth, yet shows complexity and layers of aromas.
On the palate, Salon Le Mesnil displays a remarkable subtlety of flavors with touches of green apples, fresh citrus – lemon and grapefruit – building into mellow hints of ripe pear and kiwi.

Food pairings

Champagne Salon 1995

CHAMPAGNE SALON 1995, The Spirit of Seduction

Presentation

The elegance and complexity of the Salon Champagne 1995 vintage takes us to the lofty heights of the sublime.

In the vineyard

After a mild, wet winter, a sunny spring and warm but temperate summer, the grape harvest in Mesnil-sur-Oger started on 23 September that year in mild, sunny weather. The grapes were superb, with excellent maturity and a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity.

Serving

Due to the richness and complexity of its aromas and its exceptional, lingering finish, Salon champagne can be drunk in the same way as a great wine.

Salon champagne is generally drunk at cellar temperature, ideally between
12 and 13°. The structure and style of the 1995 vintage are best expressed when it is served between 13 and 15°.

It is preferable to use a glass with a curved rim, something like the “tulip” shape and allow the Salon champagne to “air” in the glass for a few minutes before tasting.

Tasting

Salon 1995 Champagne is pale yellow in colour, almost evanescent; it is fine and structured, with fine, regular bubbles, both lively and robust, a characteristic, complex nose with heady aromas of white flowers, honeysuckle, jasmine and orange blossom, developing gradually towards hints of lemon and exotic fruit, typical of Chardonnay.

The palate is powerful and well structured and has an immediate mineral taste, culminating in a warm and extremely sensual finish.

The elegance and complexity of the Salon Champagne 1995 vintage takes us to the lofty heights of the sublime.

Salon 1990, Portrait of a great charming wine

Presentation

Among those masterpieces that made the 20th century lighter and more beautiful, Champagne Salon punctuated the years with its 33 vintages. 1990, the last one for the moment, arrives with the new century: it is one of the most beautiful and the most charming.

In the vineyard

The bewitching paradox: the 1990 harvest
Each grape-berry is a memory: It is the concentration of the events of a whole year with its ups and downs and its rainy and sunny days. The year 1990 kept us in suspense.
First thrill: a first cold spell on April 5th bruised the Chardonnay grapes of the Côte des Blancs, followed by a second, even more devastating on April 19th. 45% of the vineyards are affected.
Then the early blossoming is spoiled by bad weather conditions, which will lead to flower abortion and millerandage (partial crop failure with mixed size berries). The winegrowers are feeling pretty uncomfortable and everybody is holding their breath.
The excellent conditions during maturation - These prevailed, without tiring, from the growing of the berries until the harvest– aided by the excellent know-how and the stroke of genius of the artist Alain Terrier, the result was extraordinary– almost magic.
The harvest started on September 14th in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Chardonnay grapes are extremely homogeneous and the astonishing balance of alcoholic and acidity gives its elegance and its brightness to this superb Vintage.

Serving

Its richness, the complexity of its aromas and its exceptional length on the palate allow you to taste Salon Champagne like a great wine. In order to keep its character intact you should serve Salon Champagne, not ice-cold, but at the temperature of the cellar – ideally between 10 and 12°. Before tasting, let it breathe some minutes in the glass, which preferably should have a curving rim, almost like a tulip.

Tasting

The Beauty of Time for a Vintage of Genius
Knowing how to age is the mark of great characters and the greatest wines are of this calibre: their ability of ageing is the mark of their quality.
Salon 1990 is that seducer who certainly will not fail, on the contrary, it is a promise, a blooming to come, a sparkle that lasts, the unlimited class of the real structured and living beauty.
Rich and delicate, fleshy and rounded, dense and elegant, it is fascinating and dumbfounds one with its rare qualities pronounced by a deep golden colour and a fine and delicate sparkle.

The nose is an aromatic explosion of lime, spices and candied oranges. With its wonderfully floral quality, it radiates freshness. So much so that as it develops it acquires a sweetness which envelops us and carries us away. It is like a young girl who is amazed as she has lived such a protected life. A mystery…

Food pairings

Classy for very sensual dishes.
This monument of the 20th century needs almost universal dishes. Its richness allows this multiple and colourful marriage. You can dare everything: Sushi can bowl you over, a risotto of white truffles is exulting, a great Parma or Spanish Ham – simplicity obliges the greatest – carries you to unsuspected heights. The most classical dishes will be enhanced through their union with Salon 1990 : think of oysters, even game, hare à la royale for instance. It is beyond your wildest dreams!

Champagne Salon 1988

The 1988 vintage : the concept of freshness

Presentation

At Salon, only the exceptional years are judged fine enough to produce a Champagne vintage.This only arrives approximately every 2-3 years, and 1988 is the 31st vintage in 76 years. There are rare cases that two great years follow each other as in 1928 and 1929, and 1982 and 1983.

In the vineyard

1988 : The year of surprises.
Surprises, yes, for in climatic terms the weather this year was average, unremarkable even, alternating between scattered rain showers and spring sunshine, a non-eventful flowering, a fine fruit set, and finally a good harvest of ripe grapes, in reasonable quantity, and all picked on 26th September in the Côte des Blancs. All in all, a normal year for such a superb and complex wine. It puts one in mind of a dull pupil, who passes unnoticed all year and who suddenly reveals his genius and creates a stir at his final exams.

Serving

To keep its character intact, Salon should be served not chilled, but at cellar temperature, ideally between 10 and 12°c.

Tasting

Salon 1988 is Champagne Salon by another name, that is to say it expresses the best qualities and ideals of Salon : finesse and power, subtle aromas changing and developing on the nose and palate, evolving in the glass and in the mouth, but nevertheless, a wine with presence, with an aura.

Salon 1988 imposes itself by its complexity, by its ability to surprise which is the charm of a great seducer. But there are no elements of a Don Juan here : the wine is real, honest and faithful, a great lover.

In a fluted glass, a transparent clear gold colour shines. A fine mousse rises to form an ascending column, slow rising and spreading out in a persistent circular motion.

The nose is complex : warm toast and brioche, truffles, contrasted with hints of candied lemon and citrus fruits. On the second taste, the breadth of the wine explodes on the palate. It makes you dream of caviar to accompany the wine.
On the palate, tasted not too chilled in order for its subtleties to develop, and as well aired as it should be, Salon 1988 has a freshness and a silky, full elegance ; it is honeyed, with a marriage of citrus elements and the creamy, grilled aromas of ripe Chardonnay, and these elements bring to perfection the wonderful qualities of the 1988 vintage in Champagne.

This is followed by a cascade of secondary aromas, of trills, enchantments and crescendos : you can never reach agreement or harmony, it makes one think of Mozart….

It is typical Salon - -long in the mouth, flawless, clear, with faint dosage. Marvel at this Salon 1988 which allies finesse and power in a richness that delights like an opera.

Food pairings

Its richness, the complexity of its aromas as well as its exceptional length in the mouth allows Salon to be tasted as a great wine. As an aperitif or to accompany a Champagne dinner, one can match it voluntarily with fine and delicate foods such as belon, caviar, nages of fish and shellfish, scallops, foie gras, white meats, fresh fruit desserts…

Champagne Salon 1985

Salon 1985 : Millennium Miracle !

Presentation

Salon is made entirely from Chardonnay grapes grown in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of the greatest and most distinctive crus of the Côte des Blancs.
Salon uses grapes from 100% rated vineyards only with vines all over 40 years old and growing on the mid-slopes. Limited yields are responsible for Salon’s extraordinary intensity of fruit.

The vintage

Why was Champagne Salon ’85 held until the Millennium ?

This was a vintage that mystified everyone ! Severe winter frosts had destroyed one in ten of every vine in Champagne. Despite the irregular maturity of the clusters at the end of the summer, superb sunny weather in September and October enabled the grapes to swell and ripen in perfect conditions. The beautiful late season even permitted a rare “ second harvest ” at the end of October. The quality was excellent, producing champagne of remarkable intensity.

Salon 1985 is distinguished by its elegance and great complexity. It is described by Alain Terrier, Salon’s oenologist, as : “ Bright gold, light and glittering, with aromas of candied fruits, hazelnut, and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, the first impression is of freshness and abundant Chardonnay fruit ; the finish is long and persistent. The wine displays a rarely achieved balance of strength and complexity ”.

Champagne Salon 1983

Presentation

At Salon, only the exceptional years are judged fine enough to produce a Champagne vintage. This is extremely rare when two great years follow each other such as 1928 and 1929, 1982 and 1983.

Serving

To keep its character intact, Salon should be served not chilled, but at cellar temperature, ideally between 10 and 12°c.

Tasting

With its yellow gold colour, of good intensity, its typical nose, complex with fruity aromas of fresh figs, bergamot, anise, and also of grilled bread, butter, vanilla and wax; a palate of steeped and dried fruits, the 1983 vintage Salon is rich, creamy, powerful and superbly fresh. It is an all-powerful wine, long in the mouth with a fresh, fine, and persistent palate. Its richness, the complexity of its aromas as well as its exceptional length in the mouth allows Salon to be tasted as a great wine. As an aperitif or to accompany a champagne dinner, one can match it happily with fine and delicate food such as oysters, caviar, fish, scallops, foie gras, white meats, fresh fruit desserts …

欧仁-艾梅·沙龙(Eugène-Aimé Salon)是香槟区的一名车匠之子,1867年10月7日出生于香槟区白丘山脚下的波康西(Pocancy)。

艾梅·沙龙从小就对祖传的农场业务不感兴趣,原本应该成为家庭教师的他决定前去巴黎试试运气,并就此成为一名商人。凭借十足的干劲,这个年轻人得以在蒙特勒伊的Chapal皮草公司站稳脚跟。他最初只是一名学徒,随后很快升任为负责人,并在随后的职业生涯中成为这家公司的管理人,他自己也在新世纪到来之际成为巴黎商务圈中的重要人物之一。

艾梅·沙龙聪慧、灵敏,其商务网络遍布巴黎至纽约:无论是纽约、伦敦还是巴黎,这些城市的皮草市场总能见到他的身影。他热爱生活、乐趣以及精致的事物,作为在香槟区出生的人,他更热爱香槟。他一直怀有一个梦想。他希望能创造出一款独一无二、只属于自己的香槟。

尽管身为一名商人,他却一直与香槟保持着密切的关系:他的连襟便是一名酒窖主管,经常会给他提供有用建议。他决定购置一块土地,让自己的梦想成真。他仔细对比了克拉芒、阿维兹、奥热和勒梅尼勒叙罗热等村庄所产葡萄的特点,并最终发现勒梅尼勒叙罗热的葡萄拥有更为卓越的熟化潜力。他逐步规划出自己的蓝图:选择最好的风土——白丘,最好的产区——勒梅尼勒叙罗热,以及最好的地块——位于白丘教堂山丘之上的一片土地,这里种植的葡萄口味均衡、酸甜适宜。他的梦想变得更加清晰:他要酿造一款只给自己饮用的香槟,且不添加任何混酿酒液

1905年,他成功创造出了白中白香槟。他用这款佳酿款待亲友,帮助他们一扫战后的阴霾,也使他诞生了用此款作品造福他人的心愿:1920年,正是在这第一批葡萄酒爱好者的鼓励下,他创建了沙龙酒庄。

自此,沙龙香槟频频出现于众多潮流场所中,风靡一时。在疯狂年代,美心集团(Le Maxim’s)还将其选为旗下餐厅的必备香槟之一。在政客云集的餐桌上,沙龙香槟亦必不可缺,它的声誉在欧洲范围内进一步扩大,就连大名鼎鼎的“百人俱乐部”

(Club des cent)都对其无比青睐。所有人都希望品尝艾梅·沙龙的香槟。这款香槟以单一的霞多丽葡萄为酿造原材,这在当时实属独特。在第一次世界大战之前,没有任何一个品牌销售仅以单一葡萄品种酿造的香槟。艾梅·沙龙就这样成为了酿造白中白香槟的第一人

这次成功是一个典范,他得以由此探索生活乐趣的更高境界。他对桌上艺术情有独钟(在他位于勒梅尼勒叙罗热的乡间宅邸,两名厨师负责烹饪),对菜肴、烹饪方式以及最适于搭配的葡萄酒选择有着自己的独到见解。

他调创的1928年份香槟获得了行家们的一致好评,自此,他便一直用相同的严苛标准要求自己:只以限量方式销售卓越年份出产的年份酒,并采用恒久不变的酿造进程。

艾梅·沙龙既是一名土生土长的香槟人,又是一位名副其实的欧洲公民。在上世纪三十年代,他与露易丝·维斯(Louise Weiss)一同投身于一项伟大的事业:打造一个和平与现代化的欧洲(他的名字被选入1931年出版的《Premiers Européens》名录 中)。在疯狂年代,艾梅·沙龙成为巴黎式生活的代表性人物。他拥有众多好友,其中很多都来自政治圈和议会,和他分享着相同的进步主义理想。

无论是在他身处的那个年代,还是1943年逝世时,就算在今天,艾梅·沙龙依然被视为一名先驱、一位自由且充满创意的前瞻者。他的香槟承载着探寻美好生活的寓意,是慷慨宽宏的象征,纵使历经时光洗礼,依然能够使我们动容,展示了取悦众人,在自己擅长的领域内追求卓越的坚定意愿。
