Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon 2006 is a prestige rosé Champagne crafted from approximately equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, showcasing the Maison`s skilled winemaking techniques. Based in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, the estate employs a cold-settling process to enhance purity. The inclusion of red wine from old Valofroy vines contributes to its distinctive salmon-pink hue. This vintage benefited from a warm growing season, resulting in ripe, concentrated fruit. The wine exhibits aromas of wild strawberries and blood orange, complemented by notes of toasted brioche. With 12.5% alcohol, the fine, persistent mousse and layered structure reflect the house’s commitment to elegance and complexity, aided by extended lees ageing.
