Henry of Pelham Cuvée Catharine Carte Blanche Blanc de Blancs 2017

Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaNamed in memory of Henry’s wife, widow, and family matriarch, Catharine Smith, Carte Blanche is the vintage dated Cuvée Catharine. Short Hills Bench estate clone 95 chardonnay was partially neutral barrel fermented and then aged for 54 months on lees prior to disgorgement with approximately 6 g/L. Lemongrass, herbal meadow flowers, light toast, and fresh lemon work through the finely creamy fizz, finishing long. This is a safe, consistent, and friendly bubbly for enjoying now.
