Henry of Pelham Cuvée Catharine Carte Blanche Blanc de Blancs 2019
Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaNamed in memory of Henry’s wife, widow, and family matriarch, Catharine Smith, Carte Blanche is the vintage dated Cuvée Catharine, here in pure Blanc de Blancs, chardonnay glory. Short Hills Bench estate clone 95 old vine chardonnay was whole cluster pressed and fermented 80% stainless / 20% neutral barrel prior to ageing for 54 months on lees. This was disgorged with approximately 6 g/L. Candied Meyer lemon fills the core, surrounded with crunchy green apple, frothy meringue, subtle white florals, and toast that fan out along the expansive mousse. A sophisticated, yet friendly BdB, well suited to its name.Tasted: 14 October 2026Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $43.95 | 750ml | winery direct |
