Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Elisabeth Rosé 2008

Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Elisabeth Rosé 2008 is one of Champagne’s most refined prestige rosés, combining aromatic finesse with exceptional depth and precision. Crafted from Grand Cru fruit and inspired by Elisabeth Salmon, one of the house’s founders, it stands as a benchmark cuvée for elegance, complexity, and delicacy.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a pale salmon hue with a fine, persistent mousse and a graceful, luminous finish in the glass. On the nose, it opens with fresh red berries, rose petals, and citrus zest, followed by subtler notes of fresh fig, white peach, and crisp almond pastry. The palate is pure and expressive, with mandarin, nectarine, and cardamom leading the way, lifted by a refined exotic touch of cedar. Elegant rather than forceful, it offers impressive aromatic detail and a long, polished finish. Thanks to its structure and balance, it has excellent aging potential and can evolve beautifully over time.

Production
This cuvée is made from 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay sourced from some of the best Grand Cru vineyards in Champagne. The grapes are vinified as white wine, with 10% Pinot Noir added as red wine at blending to achieve the signature rosé style and color. The result is a Champagne built on precision, terroir expression, and meticulous cellar work.

Food & Serving
A beautiful match for sashimi, lobster, scallops, veal, or dishes with delicate berry sauces, as well as refined aperitifs and lightly sweet pastries. Serve well chilled at 8–10°C to preserve its freshness and aromatic lift. Decanting is not recommended; simply open shortly before serving to let the wine unfold in the glass.
