Tasting notes
The 2012 Cuvee Elizabeth Salmon Brut Rosé presents a delicate salmon pink hue with a persistent, fine mousse. The nose is complex and inviting, revealing aromas of wild strawberries, red currants, and a hint of citrus zest, intertwined with subtle notes of brioche and toasted almonds from extended lees aging. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced, with a vibrant acidity that carries flavours of ripe red berries, blood orange, and a touch of spice. The finish is long, elegant, and remarkably fresh, showcasing both power and finesse.
This Champagne is a true expression of its vintage and terroir, crafted primarily from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with a small proportion of still red wine for its exquisite colour and depth. It is perfect for special occasions or as an accompaniment to fine cuisine.
