1971 Salon

This dry champagne has medium intensity lemon colour. On nose it gives quite intense aromas of stewed apple, honey, caramel, lemon custard and trace of steel. Surprisingly quite acidic with medium alcohol and full bodied. Creamy and going to smooth white wine type mouthfeel with intense flavour of stewed apple, honey, lemon, steel and caramel on palate. Long length with honey lemon finish. (93) Good development, unlike its age.

出奇的年青，酒味當然已經發展成熟，從香味的描述已看到酒香已和諧地混合。酒的酸度出奇的好，不是很酸，但以50年的酒仍有這酸度是很有活力的。餘韻長，亦展現酒的力量和質素。這酒有成熟香檳的表現而又有一定的活力，令人印象深刻，這表現相信 ex-domaine 有直接影嚮。
