Aromatic profile
The structure of this champagne

The silky texture and generous substance of the 2009 vintage envelop the palate with wonderful breadth.
Power
A medium-to-full body, carried by the deep fruit character of Pinot Noir from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Aÿ.
Length
Remarkable aromatic persistence on notes of marzipan, vine peach, and gentle spice.

About this house
Founded in 1818 in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ by Nicolas François Billecart and his wife Élisabeth Salmon, Billecart-Salmon is one of the rare grandes maisons of Champagne to have remained independent and family-owned across seven generations. The house is renowned for its meticulous precision in winemaking — long, low-temperature fermentations and natural cold clarification — which imparts an unmistakable finesse and freshness to its cuvées.
Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon is the house's flagship, a heartfelt tribute to its founder. Produced only in vintage form during exceptional years, it ages for more than a decade before disgorgement. The 2009 vintage, awarded 96/100 by the Wine Advocate, is universally acclaimed as one of the greatest in the cuvée's history.

Starter

Main Course
The gentle spice and generosity of the 2009 Pinot Noir answer perfectly to the bold character of duck breast.
