The champagne Billecart-Salmon Elisabeth Salmon Rosé Brut, vintage 2008 from the winery Champagne Billecart-Salmon has been rated in 2021 by Anne Krebiehl MW with 96 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Pinot Noir, Chardonnay from the region Champagne in France.
This deep salmon pink wine is a study in subtlety. It is gently fragrant and takes time to open up. At first, the nose is rather creamy, even lactic, but then, slowly, redcurrant and blood orange appear with an aromatic overtone of potentilla. The palate, with very fine mousse, exquisite texture and balance, then veers into a most Pinot-esque direction that reveals truffle and a dimension of earthiness and undergrowth. It shimmers with white pepper and has a touch of toasted hazelnut on the bright finish. A real treat. A.K.
