Score 96/100 · Drink 2016-2026, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2016

What a pleasure it is to taste the 1961 Salon. Timeless, elegant and super polished, the 1961 has aged exceptionally well. The candied lemon, white flower and almond nuances offer lovely freshness, especially for a wine of this age. Today, the 1961 is sublime. I don't know that there is too much more I can add, except to say this is about as good as it gets for mature Champagne. Disgorged à la volée , with no dosage.
