Cuvée Elisabeth er husets flagskibs rosé, opkaldt efter medstifteren Elisabeth Salmon. Det er en blanding af de bedste Pinot Noir og Chardonnay, kun fra Premier og Grand Cru vinmarker. 2012 var en vidunderlig årgang i Champagne, fordi den producerede så fantastisk rige og lige så elegant afbalancerede vine - næsten alt var helt rigtigt. Cuvée Elisabeth afspejler denne harmoni på en imponerende måde. Alene duften er fængslende og fuld af varm frugt med hjertekirsebær, blodappelsin, lakrids og brioche varm fra ovnen. Cremet og fin i munden med raffineret dybde, det er virkelig gode sager, chapeau. Pålideligt en af de bedste rosé-restige cuvéer i Champagne.

Suckling om: Champagne Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rosé

A blend of 45% Pinot Noir and 55% Chardonnay, the 2012 Brut Rosé Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon is a real success, wafting from the glass with aromas of red berries, rose, peony, orange blood and dried flowers. Medium to full-bodied, vinous and broad, it's dense and deep with a multidimensional core of fruit, racy acids and a textural structure, concluding with a long, delicate, mouthwatering finish. This is one of the finest rosé I've tasted at this address. Kudos!

Jeb Dunnuck om: Champagne Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rosé

The blend of the 2012 Champagne Elisabeth Salmon is includes 55% Chardonnay along with 10% red wine, the majority of which was raised in stainless steel, with a 3% splash raised in oak. It pours a deeper salmon orange tinge and is a more assertive wine in the glass, with notes of spice, smoky wet stones, peach, almond, and fruitcake. Medium to full-bodied and assertive, it holds its mousse together more clearly and has more transparency, with a pomegranate texture, and is long on the palate. This structured wine will benefit from another year or two in bottle before drinking over the following 15 or more years. Disgorged January 2023, 3.8 dosage; total in the final wine is 4 grams per liter.

The Wine Independent om: Champagne Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rosé

Vibrant light coral colored with glints of rose gold, the 2012 Elizabeth Salmon Brut Rosé is a youthfully exuberant 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir blend coming from 85% Grand Cru and 15% Premier Cru vineyards in the exceptional 2012 vintage. 97% cold-fermented in stainless steel with a small 3% barrel vinified red, it underwent partial malo-lactic fermentation and was finished to Extra-Brut with a 3.8 grams per liter of dosage. Aromatically coy at first, it opens to alluring notes of dried blood orange slices, apricot coulis, Meyer lemon wafers with a whiff of butterscotch and white cardamom. Crisp and finely textured, the light to medium-bodied palate laces up a subtle intensity of citrus peel, morello red cherry, and hints of ruby red grapefruit with an exuberant acid vibrancy that animates the pinpoint, shimmery mousse. No doubt a very bright, coquettish 12-year-old at the moment, this 2012 Elizabeth Salmon is enjoyable but will take on more grace and even more personality with age. Disgorged in the first quarter of 2023. Drink now to 2040. Tasted June, 2024.

Galloni om: Champagne Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rosé

The 2012 Brut Rosé Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon is a very sexy Champagne, but it is also quite reserved, especially within the context of the year. Crushed rose petal, kirsch, white pepper, slate and mint are all beautifully delineated in a sculpted, taut Rosé. Its finest drinking belongs to the future. Dosage is 3.8 grams per liter. Disgorged: January 2023.

Wine Spectator om: Champagne Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rosé

Sleek and elegant, with a seamless knit, this is finely textured, with the raw silk–like mousse carrying flavors of peach skin, white cherry and toast point that show hints of white blossoms, pickled ginger and oyster shell through the lasting finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Disgorged winter-spring 2023 (My Origin 121234). Drink now through 2035.
