164.09₣ (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Spain
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of 45% Pinot Noir and 55% Chardonnay, the 2012 Brut Rosé Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon is a real success, wafting from the glass with aromas of red berries, rose, peony, orange blood and dried flowers. Medium to full-bodied, vinous and broad, it's dense and deep with a multidimensional core of fruit, racy acids and a textural structure, concluding with a long, delicate, mouthwatering finish. This is one of the finest rosé I've tasted at this address. Kudos!

Description
Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rosé is a champagne made from Chardonnay (50%) and Pinot Noir (50%) by the Billecart-Salmon winery in the Champagne region of France.
The Pinot Noir grapes used to make Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rosé come from the Montagne de Reims and the Grand Vallée du Marne and the Chardonnay comes from the Côte des Blancs and is vinified following the traditional method.
Winemaking
The grapes are hand-picked individually and separately. The 17% is vinified in oak barrels, the malolactic fermentation is partial and the second fermentation takes place where the wine matures on its lees for 10 years.
On the other hand, the dosage is moderate with 7 grams of sugar per litre to maintain the varietal characteristics of the grapes. In addition, a slow process is guaranteed where the aromas are extracted and the maximum expression of the different varieties is preserved.
Taste
On the nose, this champagne offers a rich and complex aromatic amplitude. On the palate it has a restrained, yet delicate and flavoursome strength and a full, fleshy structure- a perfectly balanced and ready-to-drink wine!
A deep and complex drink
This champagne was created in 1988 in honour of Elizabeth Salmon, co-founder of the Billecart-Salmon winery and is characterised by its extreme finesse.
Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rosé is the expression of the best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards. It invites you to a unique and sensory experience, the fruit of more than a decade of patience.
On a gastronomic level Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rosé is a perfect gift and ideal to enjoy in pleasant company and to taste especially with citrus-marinated raw fish, roast poultry and prawns.
This drink will give you great moments to share! Do you dare to try it?
