“The 2008 Brut Rosé Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon explodes from the glass with a
mesmerizing array of aromas, flavors and textures. Blood orange,
cinnamon, mint and dried flowers. The 2008 is incredibly young, but it is also
incredibly tempting. Patience will be rewarded. In the meantime, readers
might enjoy adding a few bottles of the stellar 2007 to their cellars, as the
nervy, taut 2008 needs time. The 2008 is 55% Pinot Noir (from Aÿ, Verzy,
Verzenay and Mareuil) and 45% Chardonnay (from Chouilly, Avize and
Cramant), with 9% still wine from Mareuil. It is the first vintage that includes
a portion of wines (17%) done in barrel and the first vintage in which the
magnums were aged on the cork rather than on crown seal. Dosage is 7
grams per liter.
