Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Elisabeth Rosé 2012 is one of Champagne’s most refined prestige rosés, combining elegance, precision, and rare depth in a spectacular 300cl format. Crafted from Grand Cru fruit and inspired by the house’s co-founder Elisabeth Salmon, it stands as a benchmark cuvée for collectors and celebratory occasions alike.
Tasting Notes
The wine shows a delicate salmon hue with a fine, persistent mousse that signals both finesse and class. The bouquet opens with fresh red berries, rose petals, and citrus zest, then moves into more layered notes of fresh fig, white peach, and crisp macaron.
On the palate, it is beautifully pure and aromatic, offering mandarin, nectarine, and a subtle hint of cardamom, lifted by an exotic cedar nuance. The finish is long, graceful, and precise, with enough structure and freshness to age well for several more years while continuing to gain complexity.
Production
This cuvée is made from 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay sourced from some of the finest Grand Cru vineyards in Champagne. The base wines are vinified as white wine, with 10% Pinot Noir added later as a red wine component to create its distinctive rosé character, a method that brings both delicacy and depth to the final blend.
Food & Serving
A superb match for salmon tartare, langoustines, duck breast, or refined sushi and sashimi, as well as fruit-led desserts with a light, elegant profile. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is not recommended; instead, open just before serving to preserve its freshness and mousse.
Producer

Based in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, it has earned a strong reputation in Champagne for producing wines of remarkable finesse, and Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon remains one of its most celebrated achievements.
