BILLECART-SALMON BRUT ROSE CUVÉE ELISABETH SALMON 2013

Depth and complexity Created in 1988 as a tribute to one of the House’s founders, Elisabeth Salmon, this cuvée distinguishes itself through its sparkle and refined purity of grandeur and unique character. This great, rare and sought-after wine subtly offers the signature of our top Pinot Noir and Chardonnay terroirs. France, Champagne APPELLATION: Champagne AOC GRAPES: 55% Pinot Noir 45% Chardonnay APPEARANCE: Its appearance is luminous, with soft, coppery shimmers and a sustained salmon-pink hue. AROMA: There is a refreshing sensorial experience of citrus peel and red berry jelly. With the exquisite sensation of a rich and complex aromatic generosity (Plougastel and Mara des Bois strawberries, pêche de vigne). Pretty, refined and mature olfactory notes that bring out the inimitable fragrances of sweet spices and wild raspberry pulp. PALATE: A measured strength which is delicate and charming at the same time, with the harmonious maturing of flavours (mandarin, blood orange, and Reinette apple tart). An ample and full character in the mouth unveiling a chalky edge and persistent finish of citron zest as well as red and white currants. FOOD PAIRING: This great wine, with its extreme finesse, is a sign of the delicate personality of its textures and flavours. An aromatic charm with a rare mineral dimension, marries well with beautiful creamy poultry, in particular poulet de Bresse or Breton langoustines royales SERVICE TEMPERATURE: 11-12 °C
