BRUT ROSÉ MILLÉSIME 2012

“  The 2012 vintage of the Elisabeth Salmon cuvée is the result of over a decade of patience, honoring the House’s co-founder. The meticulous standards demanded by this traditional craftmanship is similar to pastry-making. The art of blending and rigorous selection completely resonate with my creative process. To me, this cuvée embodies the essence of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay terroirs, inviting to a unique sensory experience combined with a dedicated pastry creation. Its luminous robe, with soft pink and coppery reflections, beckons you to delve into its fragrant notes tinged with gentle spices and crystallized violets. On the palate, the rich and complex aromatic profile reveals beautiful pastry and wooded notes, with ripe fruits and tangy citrus instinctively guided me in creating this dessert. I wanted to enhance it with a certain roundness, adding the vanilla and indulgent flavors of bread pudding with raisins. The inimitable aspect of red fruits harmonizes perfectly with lingonberries and red currants, while the delicate flavors of candied oranges and lemons underscore its persistent finish marked by citron zest. Long story short: a food and wine pairing with a unique character!  ”
