2009 Champagne Billecart-Salmon, Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon, Rosé, Brut

Description

Cherry stones, blood oranges and wild strawberries woven with aromas of freshly baked blackberry tartlets. The palate is woven with red berries, cream fraise, lemon pith and sun-kissed peach skin, supported by a seamless golden foam, pinot details and bright, saline minerality. A rich year in Champagne, yet this Rosé is agile, impressive and cellar-worthy. But utterly enjoyable now. Over 10 years on lees give profound richness and complexity (7g dosage).

Critics reviews

Antonio Galloni 95/100
The 2009 Brut Rosé Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon is such a joyous Champagne. Intensely floral and effusive, the 2009 is a real charmer. Kirsch, sweet red cherry fruit, orange peel, mint, chalk and white pepper are all finely woven together. This is an especially brisk style, both for the year and for Billecart. If anything, the dosage feels a bit low here, which gives the wine chiselled contours and a slightly austere personality.Drink 2027 - 2039antonio_galloni, Vinous.com.com (May 2022)

James Suckling 96/100
Copper-orange colour with aromas of grapefruit pith, cherry stones, dried roses, white pepper, pastries, walnuts and oyster shells. Refined and elegant with pretty, dried red and citrus fruit, layered with subtle spice and toast. Fine bubbles. Dry. 55% Pinot Noir from Mareuil-sur-Ay and Ay, and 45% Grand Cru chardonnay from Cote des Blancs, with 10% Pinot Noir red wine. Dosage 7g/L. Disgorged in July 2021. Drink or holdjames_suckling, jamessuckling_com (August 2022)

Yohan Castaing 98/100
A slightly flinty and vibrant bouquet alongside complex aromas of red berries, herbs and lemon, with fresh menthol notes coming through with some air. The palate is wonderful and elegant, with a vinous texture and a superb, calcareous finish. A blend of 45% Chardonnay and 55% Pinot Noir (including 9% vinified as red wine), this Champagne, which has a dosage of 7g/L, is made for ageing.Drink 2023 - 2050Yohan Castaing, Decanter.com (November 2022)

Jancis Robinson MW 18/20
Very pale glowing salmon-orange colour. Rich, complex, burnished copper (somehow) nose. Very luscious and seductive. Strawberry flavours but not sweet and simple at all. Creamy-smooth texture but with quite enough acidity – even in this ripe vintage – to keep this wine appetising and intriguing on the finish. Great stuff! A wine to send you to the table…Drink 2021 - 2028jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (October 2022)

William Kelley 96/100
Incorporating fully 10% still red wine, Billecart's 2009 Brut Rosé Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon is showing beautifully, delivering fragrant aromas of plums, stone fruits, petals, sweet spices and marzipan. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and elegant, it's seamless and pillowy, with bright acids and a pure, precise profile, concluding with a bright, saline finish. In 2009, it was vinified entirely in stainless steel.Drink 2022 - 2035William Kelley, Wine Advocate (August 2022)

About this wine

Champagne

Champagne

In 1668, Dom Pérignon is said to have discovered how to make sparkling wine; today his technique is used the world over, although Champagne continues to make some of the finest. France’s most northerly wine region, Champagne is now home to 15,000 growers and 290 ‘houses’. A blend of grape varieties is usually required: white Chardonnay to add fruit and elegance, and two reds – Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier – to provide body and backbone.
