ROSÉ MILLÉSIME 2013

“ My first experience with Elisabeth Salmon Rosé was during a long overdue catch-up with a close friend. We hadn’t seen each other in ages, and champagne felt like the only fitting way to celebrate this evening. As we talked, we took our time, letting the wine evolve in the glass. The Elisabeth Salmon cuvée seemed to capture the very essence of that night: elegant, expressive, and full of nuance. Elisabeth Salmon 2013 has a very lively and expressive character. It feels focused and well-structured with aromas of rose water, blood orange, and wild strawberries mingle with hints of sweet spice. On the palate, it’s graceful and precise, with fine bubbles and lingering depth. I would pair it with a wild mushroom and black truffle risotto, finished with aged parmesan and a touch of lemon oil. The umami intensity of the mushrooms and the luxurious richness of the truffle align beautifully with the Elisabeth Salmon’s structure and maturity, while its freshness cuts through the creaminess of the risotto, leaving the palate perfectly balanced. For me, the perfect way to enjoy Elisabeth Salmon 2013 is with good friends — those who elevate every moment. It’s a champagne of such depth and character that it doesn’t need much more than a beautiful setting and meaningful conversation to truly shine. ”
