Billecart Salmon Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rose 2008

Billecart Salmon Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rose 2008

The Brut Ros is a fresh and elegant Ros Champagne, blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir vinified as red wine. Radiant color with graceful effervescence, a persistent mousse, and fine bubbles rising slowly in the glass. Subtle and fine aromas lead to an expressive red berry flavor with citrus zest. Creamy and smooth on the palate, evolving to strawberries notes and a raspberry finish. Light, balanced and precise. The best pairing for any happy occasion! Pairs greatly with fine charcuterie, sushi, grilled salmon, or a langoustine carpaccio. It will also enhance lightly sweetened red berry desserts with an acidic crunch.

Critical Acclaim

92 Wine Enthusiast

The palest of ross, this is an elegant, structured wine. Its dryness is balanced by the fine apple and red-currant fruits and the strong sense of minerality. Fragrant and lightly structured, this fine bottling is ready to drink.

92 Wine Spectator

A lively ros Champagne with pleasing, citrusy juiciness to the flavors of steeped raspberry, white peach, and blanched almond. A subtle thread of chalky minerality winds through the finish. Drink now through 2023.

90 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Based on the 2016 vintage, the new NV Brut Ros from Billarcart-Salmon has turned out nicely, mingling notes of red berries and plums with notions of peach, dried flowers, and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy, and elegant, it’s bright and charming, with a generous core of fruit, racy acids, and a pinpoint mousse. Giving and demonstrative, it’s already drinking well.
