The 2006 Rosé Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon is powerful, intense and also classically austere in its make up. Crushed flowers, mint, red berries and cranberries are all finely sketched. The 2006 finishes with striking mineral-driven precision, and while it doesn’t have the opulence or exuberance of the 2002, it is still a very pretty and appealing Champagne. The Elisabeth Salmon is 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay, with about 8% still Pinot Noir. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. 03/2016

A marvel of beauty and sensualism. Like a summer dream, the wine dances forward and wallpapers your palate and loses your senses. Must be drunk together with someone. Absolutely amazingly good! Delicate raspberries and strawberry notes are mixed with orange nougat in a way that is reminiscent of the greatness of the 88'. 05/2022

Extremely fleshy, fresh and exuberant with unashamedly expressive red cherries, raspberries and strawberries, with cinnamon and other baking spices, too. Sleek, vinous and tangy. A clever wine for the playful fruit presence that belies the power and structure behind it. Hints of chocolate creep into the finish. Drink now. 10/2017
