Lobenberg: Die Cuvée Elisabeth ist der Flagship Rosé des Hauses, benannt nach der Mitgründerin Elisabeth Salmon. Es ist eine Assemblage der besten Pinot Noirs und Chardonnays, nur aus Premier- und Grand Cru-Lagen. 2012 war ein wunderbarer Jahrgang in der Champagne, weil er so prachtvoll-reiche und ebenso elegant-ausgewogene Weine hat entstehen lassen, da passte nahezu alles. Die Cuvée Elisabeth reflektiert diese Harmonie in eindrucksvoller Weise. Schon der Duft ist einnehmend und voll warmer Frucht mit Herzkirsche, Blutorange, Lakritze und ofenwarmem Brioche. Cremig-feiner Mund mit raffinierter Tiefe, das ist schon ein ganz großer Stoff, Chapeau. Zuverlässig eine der besten Rosé-Prestige Cuvées der Champagne.

Suckling über: Champagne Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rosé

-- Suckling: A blend of 45% Pinot Noir and 55% Chardonnay, the 2012 Brut Rosé Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon is a real success, wafting from the glass with aromas of red berries, rose, peony, orange blood and dried flowers. Medium to full-bodied, vinous and broad, it's dense and deep with a multidimensional core of fruit, racy acids and a textural structure, concluding with a long, delicate, mouthwatering finish. This is one of the finest rosé I've tasted at this address. Kudos!

Lisa Perrotti Brown über: Champagne Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rosé

-- Lisa Perrotti Brown: Vibrant light coral colored with glints of rose gold, the 2012 Elizabeth Salmon Brut Rosé is a youthfully exuberant 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir blend coming from 85% Grand Cru and 15% Premier Cru vineyards in the exceptional 2012 vintage. 97% cold-fermented in stainless steel with a small 3% barrel vinified red, it underwent partial malo-lactic fermentation and was finished to Extra-Brut with a 3.8 grams per liter of dosage. Aromatically coy at first, it opens to alluring notes of dried blood orange slices, apricot coulis, Meyer lemon wafers with a whiff of butterscotch and white cardamom. Crisp and finely textured, the light to medium-bodied palate laces up a subtle intensity of citrus peel, morello red cherry, and hints of ruby red grapefruit with an exuberant acid vibrancy that animates the pinpoint, shimmery mousse. No doubt a very bright, coquettish 12-year-old at the moment, this 2012 Elizabeth Salmon is enjoyable but will take on more grace and even more personality with age. Disgorged in the first quarter of 2023. Drink now to 2040. Tasted June, 2024.

Galloni über: Champagne Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rosé

-- Galloni: The 2012 Brut Rosé Cuvée Elizabeth Salmon offers up hints of red berry fruit, ginger, spice, rosewater, mint and crushed flowers. There is a feeling of classic austerity that runs through the 2012. I would prefer to cellar this for at least a few years, as it is quite reticent at this stage. Chalk, mint, white pepper and bright saline accents linger on the pointed finish.

Wine Spectator über: Champagne Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rosé

-- Wine Spectator: Sleek and elegant, with a seamless knit, this is finely textured, with the raw silk–like mousse carrying flavors of peach skin, white cherry and toast point that show hints of white blossoms, pickled ginger and oyster shell through the lasting finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Disgorged winter-spring 2023 (My Origin 121234). Drink now through 2035.
