Scoring a dazzling 95 points, the Champagne Billecart-Salmon Rosé Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Extra Brut 2012 is a testament to the power and finesse of a truly well-crafted vintage. The 2012 harvest from the revered Champagne region of France has yielded a sparkling rosé that’s both delicate and robust, with a vibrant acidity that is perfectly balanced by a subtle creaminess on the palate. The wine unfolds with a complex bouquet of red berries, fresh citrus, and a hint of brioche, revealing the true depth of its character. Ideal for special celebrations, this elegant champagne pairs exceptionally well with seafood, particularly oysters or smoked salmon. Given its impressive quality and the rarity of such a vintage, it’s a smart buy that delivers well beyond its peers.
