TN: 2013 Salmon Champagne Special Club (France, Champagne)

2013 Salmon Champagne Special Club - France, Champagne (4/20/2020)

Opened during a virtual tasting with friends. 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir from Chaumuzy with zero dosage. I was surprised by the cepage since this house is known as a Pinot Meunier specialist. This is the 4th Special Club vintage for this house. I’ve previously had the 2009 and 2012. Clear pale straw color. Solid bead. Notes of lemon zest, almonds and toasted brioche. Very young and should develop more depth with aging. 92 points.
