Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Elisabeth Rosé 2008 Magnum

Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Elisabeth Rosé 2008 Magnum is one of Champagne’s most sought-after prestige rosés, combining finesse, precision and remarkable aromatic depth in a magnum format that promises especially graceful evolution. Crafted as a tribute to Elisabeth Salmon, one of the house’s founders, it represents the elegance and savoir-faire that have made Billecart-Salmon a benchmark for rosé Champagne.

Tasting Notes
Delicate salmon-pink in the glass, it shows a fine, persistent mousse and an especially refined visual elegance. The bouquet opens with fresh red berries, rose petals and citrus zest, then develops into notes of fresh figs, white peach and crisp almond macaroons, giving it both lift and complexity. On the palate, it is precise and aromatic, with vivid flavours of mandarin, nectarine and cardamom, layered with a subtle exotic hint of cedar. The texture is silky and beautifully balanced, with the kind of structure and freshness that allow this cuvée to age gracefully for years in magnum, gaining further depth and nuance over time.

Production
Made from 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay sourced from some of Champagne’s finest Grand Cru vineyards, this cuvée reflects a meticulous selection of top-quality fruit. The base wines are vinified as white wine, while 10% Pinot Noir vinified as red wine is added to create the final rosé blend, a method that contributes both color precision and aromatic definition. The 2008 vintage adds further freshness, structure and longevity to the blend.

Food & Serving
This Champagne is a natural match for refined dishes such as salmon, tuna tartare, lobster, langoustines, sashimi or poultry with delicate citrus and herb accents. It also works beautifully with berry-based desserts or fine pastries. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is not recommended; instead, let it open gradually in the glass.
