The Magnum Was Right

Salon Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs 1988 (Magnum) · Champagne, France · tasted 5 August 2026

One village, one grape, one year — and barely forty-odd declared vintages in 120 years. The label had all but peeled away in the cellar; the wine inside had not aged a day it couldn't afford. The best Salon of my life.
