Imperial Caviar Berlin x Salon Champagne
Salon Champagne Meets Imperial Caviar Berlin in an Unprecedented Celebration of Taste and Elegance
A rare and refined evening dedicated to the world’s most discerning palates, a highly anticipated masterclass united two icons of luxury: Champagne Salon, the revered house of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger known for producing the rarest Blanc de Blancs vintages in the world, and Imperial Caviar Berlin, a name synonymous with exceptional caviar craftsmanship and culinary prestige.
Hosted in an intimate setting, the event showcased three remarkable vintages of Champagne Salon — 2007, 2012, and the newly released 2013 — each paired with a curated selection of Imperial’s finest caviars. Accompanied by artfully composed canapés, guests were guided through a journey of terroir, time, and technique by a leading champagne expert.
“This was not just a tasting — it was a conversation between legacy and artistry,” said the event host. “Salon represents the pinnacle of champagne; Imperial defines excellence in caviar. Together, they created a symphony of purity and depth.”
Champagne Salon
Founded in the early 20th century by the visionary Eugène-Aimé Salon, the House of Salon is unlike any other in Champagne. Singular in philosophy and execution, the maison produces only one wine: a pure Blanc de Blancs crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in a single vineyard in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. This uncompromising commitment to terroir, varietal, and vintage results in a cuvée that is not only rare, but remarkably expressive of time and place.
Released only in the most exceptional years — often less than four vintages per decade — each bottle is a testament to patience, precision, and the pursuit of perfection. With decades of aging potential, Salon’s wines are revered for their tension, minerality, and luminous elegance, embodying a vision of Champagne that is both timeless and transcendent.
Imperial Caviar Berlin
Serving Michelin-starred chefs, luxury hotels, and discerning gourmands across the globe, Imperial Caviar Berlin has established itself as a trusted purveyor of exceptional caviar. With a steadfast commitment to quality, sustainability, and provenance, the brand offers meticulously selected caviar that reflects both the artistry of traditional craftsmanship and the standards of modern gastronomy. Each tin is a product of rigorous traceability, ethical sourcing, and expert maturation — ensuring not only consistency, but also a nuanced expression of flavor and texture.
Far more than a delicacy, Imperial Caviar represents a contemporary interpretation of luxury — one defined by integrity, refinement, and an unwavering dedication to excellence. Whether gracing the menus of world-renowned restaurants or served in intimate, curated tastings, it remains a symbol of indulgence elevated to an art form.
The 2013 vintage marked a historic milestone in the legacy of the House of Salon — a maison renowned for its unwavering dedication to rarity and excellence, having released only 44 vintages in more than a century. Known for bottling exclusively in the most exceptional years, Salon’s decision to release the 2013 vintage was a testament to the year’s extraordinary character and aging potential. With its poised elegance and crystalline purity, the 2013 stood proudly alongside the expressive 2007 and the architectural precision of the 2012, creating a rare and compelling vertical tasting that few will ever experience.
Set against a refined and intimate backdrop, the evening unfolded with impeccable pairings designed to elevate every nuance of the wines. Guests — a curated gathering of collectors, connoisseurs, and Champagne devotees — were treated to an experience that transcended a typical tasting. It became a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship, and the ephemeral beauty of a vintage captured at its peak. The event not only showcased Salon’s remarkable trilogy of vintages but also redefined what a luxury wine experience could be — setting a new benchmark for elegance, storytelling, and sensory sophistication.
