(2016 Tasting) … Every few years it’s nice to re-visit and re-retaste some of these non-vintage sparklers, as the base wine can sometimes cause thing to change (a bit) – and wow is this batch of the Cuvee Catharine Rosé a winner (base is from 2012 – which makes it all the more incredible): gorgeous raspberry / strawberry and lime on the nose with a great citrus finish, good mousse and brilliant acidity … I’d go out on a limb here and say it’s truly one of the best Cuvee Catharine’s to date.
