Salon Le Mesnil, Blanc de Blancs 1982 (1 BT)

Salon Le Mesnil, Blanc de Blancs 1982 

u. 1cm below base of foil, packed in presentation coffret; Emballéee dans le coffret d'origine

Disgorged specially in 2009. Lovely, mineral, 'iodé' nose. Not as broad and full as the 1985, with the 'sharpness' and freshness of the 1982 Chardonnay acidity. Distinguished, but not with the dimension of the 1985. A wonderful, crisp, 'salty' sign-off, with flavours of orange segments. Really cool stuff. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

This beautiful cellar was assembled by an avid wine collector with a taste for the fine and eclectic, spanning First Growth Bordeaux, 1er and Grand Cru Burgundy, with a twist of Rhône and Champagne Icons. All the wines were recently removed from a temperature-controlled private cellar and purchased from reputable sources. The interests of this passionate collector are well-evidenced here, with representation across all the greatest Burgundy Domaines together with the most recent sought-after names.
