CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2009 Brut Rose Cuvee Elisabeth Salmon is such a joyous Champagne. Intensely floral and effusive, the 2009 is a real charmer. Kirsch, sweet red cherry fruit, orange peel, mint, chalk and white pepper are all finely woven together. This is an especially brisk style, both for the year and for Billecart. If anything, the dosage feels a bit low here, which gives the wine chiseled contours and a slightly austere personality.

55% Pinot Noir from Ay and Mareuil-sur-Ay old vines. 45% grand cru Chardonnay from the Cote des Blancs. 10% of the Pinot was vinifed as a still red wine. Dosage 7 g/l. Very pale glowing salmon-orange colour. Rich, complex, burnished copper (somehow) nose. Very luscious and seductive. Strawberry flavours but not sweet and simple at all. Creamy-smooth texture but with quite enough acidity - even in this ripe vintage - to keep this wine appetising and intriguing on the finish. Great stuff! A wine to send you to the table (JR)
