Elisabeth Salmon 2013 highlights the full breadth of the savoir-faire required to blend the House’s rosé in an exceptional year.
Tasting notes
This great, rare and sought-after wine subtly offers the signature of our top Pinot Noir and Chardonnay terroirs.
APPEARANCE
A very luminous visual presence with soft salmony and slightly coppery glints of light. A very seductive blend of stunning brilliance draped in elegant effervescence.
PALATE
A tactile, wholly delicate, impact of measured yet bewitching power. A harmonious flowering of moreish flavours and pastries (cherry clafoutis, Canada apples and blood orange jelly). A delicate mouth structure, progressing towards a finish on a hint of chalkiness and zest of Corsican clementines.
AROMA
A sensual, refreshing expression of red and black berry fruits, sublimated by the floral elegance of peony and violet. An exquisite sensation of aromatic fullness rich in fully ripened fruits (blueberry and cherry pit). Beautifully refined and mature olfactory notes, opening on to the inimitable scent of fragrant roses and salty sea spray.
TASTING
This great wine of astounding refinement gives us the hallmark of a personality of a great delicacy and texture of flavours. An aromatic charm of the rarest mineral dimension to accompany succulent Bresse poultry with crayfish or a few royal langoustines served with a saffron-scented sabayon. Serve at: 11° / 12°.
From Florent NYS, Billecart-Salmon’ chief winemaker.
