94 / 100 Wine Spectator
A fresh and elegant Champagne, with a light, pleasing plushness to the mousse. This weaves subtle notes of fleshy mirabelle plum and nectarine fruit, preserved lemon and pastry dough with a chalky, minerally underpinning that lingers on the finish. Drink now through 2028.

93 / 100 Allen Meadow
A high-toned and ultra-pure nose reflects notes of green apple, citrus peel, petrol and background notes of baked bread and yeast. The moderately intense middle weight flavors are shaped by an impressively fine mousse while delivering very good if not truly superb complexity on the notably saline and dry finish. Salon is virtually always quite refined but the 2007 version is especially so; indeed the word finesse is perfectly apt. I would observe that this could use a bit more overall depth and as such, I would be inclined to allow this to continue to slumber for a few more years first. In sum, this is really lovely and still on the way up.
