History of the House

Eugène- Aimé Salon, who had become rich through the fur trade, acquired in 1911 a hectare best Champagne crus of the Champagne wine region. His goal was to produce the best champagne for himself and his guests. The basis for this was the location " Le Mesnil ", the terroir of the " Côte des Blancs ", and the best in his opinion, Chardonnay grapes.

At first there was vinified exclusively for their own use, he commercialized his vintage champagne from 1921. Salon produces only Blanc de Blancs Champanerweine forth in selected years as a cuvee. In the 20th century, 37 years corridors were determined for this purpose. The own vineyard property in Le Mesnil contributes only about one-sixth in the production of grapes for the production of base wines, the rest is bought on the highly regulated market for champagne base wine.

As mentioned at the beginning of the production still great emphasis is placed on quality-oriented wine industry today. The legally predetermined minimum storage period of three years for vintage Champagne is clearly exceeded. In general, the products are used only after ten years in the trade, which of course require storage capacity and requires a high capital commitment evokes.

Since 1988 Champagne Salon is part of the trade group Laurent- Perrier.
