The 2022 Blanc de Blancs was shaped by one of Nova Scotia’s warmest seasons in recent
memory, with 1,847 growing degree days by mid-September—well above five- and ten-year averages—accelerating ripeness across all varieties. Crafted solely from Chardonnay, it reflects the great Blanc de Blancs tradition: bone-dry structure, pristine acidity, and focused minerality that echo Champagne’s finest. Yet unlike many continental counterparts, this rare warmth heightened fruit concentration and aromatic clarity while preserving méthode champenoise elegance. Fermentation, including full malolactic conversion, took place in 600L demi-muids from Atelier Centre France, a renowned cooperage whose fine Allier oak delivers subtle texture and breadth without overt oak, inspired by the artisanal Grower Champagne movement.

The result is a sparkling of citrus brightness, chalky tension, and intricate lees nuance—testament to Nova Scotia’s potential when warmth meets precision and restraint.

“In the glass, a light honey colour with clear reflections. On the nose, cardamom, clover honey, allspice and white flower notes are elevated by flinty minerality. On the palate, the Chardonnay contributes vibrancy and elegance, with underlying notes of key lime and apple tart. Saline minerality returns with a reverberating finish.”
