99 JS / 96 AG / 96 WS / 96 JD / 95 WA / 94 BH / 18 JR “Super fresh, this is striking given the 10 years in the cellars; it has a fine citrus nose - plenty of lemon, grapefruit, yellow chalky notes, some lighter floral...
99 DE / 19.5 JR / 97+ VM / 96 WA "And so from P1 methuselah to P2, which for Geoffroy ‘goes beyond Champagne’. P2, he continues, must be ‘deeper, richer, longer…better than P1' - otherwise why...

93 WS Dense aromas of licorice, tobacco, cedar and currants. Subtle yet complex. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a rich, long finish. Very pretty. One of the best from Pauillac this year, and clearly better than 2001...
90+ VM / 90 WS / 89-91 WA (13.5% alcohol) Medium bright ruby. Aromas of blackberry, cassis and bitter chocolate, with a hint of animal reduction. Wonderfully sweet and creamy, with crystallized black fruit and floral...
100 WE / 100 JS / 100 DE / 98 WS / 98 FS / 97 VM / 96 BH / 20 JR The 35th and most recent vintage of Salon since the house was founded in 1905 is memorable and magnificent. Made only from Chardonnay grown in the Grand Cru...
