2012 Champagne Billecart-Salmon, Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon, Rosé, Brut

Description

I do adore this cuvée. This is a beautiful rosé that combines the intensity of old vines on great terroir with that delicate but incisive Billecart style. In the blend, 10% is still Pinot Noir, made from ancient vines in Valofroy. The rest is a balance of 45% Pinot Noir and 55% Chardonnay – all from top vineyards. I bought some of the 2008 for my own cellar and I’m a little frustrated because now I’ll need to raid the piggy bank once again! This is just gorgeous – a little more floral and fruit-forward than the 2008 but it’s just as good.  I love the pinch of ginger spice that follows the fruit, and that silky texture… that’s something to savour.

Drink 2024 - 2035+

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.
