Introduced in 1988 to honor Elisabeth Salmon, a co-founder of the domaine, this cuvée stands out for its radiance, elegant simplicity, and distinctive traits. It beautifully captures the essence of their finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards. Patiently allowing time to shape its excellence, this vintage cuvée exudes a sense of grandeur.
The centuries-old expertise is evident in the refined process of blending and meticulous selection of exceptional grapes. This particular blend boasts a remarkable effervescence and pristine clarity, showcasing its distinguished and one-of-a-kind profile.
"The 2012 Brut Rosé Cuvée Elizabeth Salmon offers up hints of red berry fruit, ginger, spice, rosewater, mint and crushed flowers. There is a feeling of classic austerity that runs through the 2012. I would prefer to cellar this for at least a few years, as it is quite reticent at this stage. Chalk, mint, white pepper and bright saline accents linger on the pointed finish. Dosage is 3.8 grams per liter. Disgorged: first trimester 2023."
