A year marked by frequent changes in weather, ranging from sunny conditions in June and July, a cool August and then a return to sunny weather in September. The vintage benefited from the slow-ripening conditions afforded...

Such an impressive wine for the detail in every respect. The nose delivers fresh lemon and grapefruit peel, together with white, stony minerals and very, very fresh and light pastry notes. Some grilled hazelnuts, too. The...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, March 2021

The 2007 Brut Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil is showing very well, unwinding in the glass with scents of citrus pith, smoke, crisp green apple, Anjou pear, white flowers and subtle hints of fresh herbs. Medium to full-bodied...

Wine & Spirits, December 2020

Chardonnay was more successful than pinot noir in the 2007 vintage, and this pure chardonnay from a collection of vineyards in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger is a standout. This bottle, disgorged in October 2019, gives a wine that...

The 2007 Salon Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil is an exceptional Champagne blend from France's renowned Champagne region. Produced exclusively in remarkable years, this wine is crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from the village of Le Mesnil in the Côte des Blancs. It is notable for its long aging process and impressive minerality.

Wine Enthusiast, which awarded this vintage an outstanding score of 99, describes it as a "legendary Champagne" that possesses "concentration and beautiful fruit" and suggests it still has "astonishingly young" characteristics, recommending further aging. This high praise underscores the wine's exceptional quality and potential for future development.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate echoes this sentiment with a score of 96, praising the wine for its "medium to full-bodied, pillowy and incisive" nature. Reviewer William Kelley highlights its "bright spine of acidity" and "elegantly fleshy core of fruit," noting the precision of its "pretty, pinpoint mousse." The wine's disgorgement in January 2019 is a testament to its meticulous production process.

James Suckling, offering a score of 97, commends the wine's "impressive" detail, noting its "fresh lemon and grapefruit peel" aromas, complemented by "white, stony minerals" and hints of "grilled hazelnuts." The palate is described as "super fine, supple and crisp," with "salty minerals" contributing to a "super long, fine and focused" finish.

Wine Spectator provides a slightly lower but still commendable score of 94, highlighting its "fresh and elegant" profile, with "subtle notes of fleshy mirabelle plum and nectarine fruit, preserved lemon and pastry dough." The "chalky, minerally underpinning" noted in the finish adds to the wine's complexity.

Overall, the 2007 Salon Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil is a remarkable Champagne that has received high praise from critics, with particular emphasis on its elegance, detail, and potential for aging.
