Dry, refined, with long lees aging. Not a sweet party sparkler, but a winemaker's sekt with no dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhilipp Kuhn Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e is a white vintage sparkling wine made from red grapes, pressed from 100 percent Pinot Noir in the Palatinate. Brut Nature means: no dosage, thoroughly dry. Let yourself be surprised by this fine effervescence, which comes from 30 months of patience on the lees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStone fruit, hazelnut, a hint of brioche\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven in the nose, the Blanc de Noirs shows a distinct Pinot Noir fullness. On the palate, yellow stone fruit, roasted hazelnut, brioche, and fresh undergrowth follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough it is fully fermented out, the spontaneously fermented Brut Nature surprises with a wonderful extract sweetness and very fine perlage. At 12.5% vol and only 0.5 g\/l residual sugar, it remains bone dry. That is how sekt should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreamy, refined, complex—the Blanc de Noirs captivates your palate. It possesses the fullness of a Pinot Noir and the elegance of a fine sparkling wine, without ever seeming sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAn aperitif for the white wine glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blanc de Noirs is a wonderfully classic aperitif. It likes light starters such as Vitello Tonnato or smoked salmon just as much as a creamy mushroom risotto with turbot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an aperitif at 7 to 9 degrees Celsius, it makes its classic appearance—in a white wine glass rather than a narrow flute—so that it can breathe. It is a fine companion to smoked salmon or Vitello Tonnato.

Because the red color pigments are only in the berry skin, they are pressed gently, resulting in an almost white juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base wine matures 60 percent in small wooden barrels and 40 percent in steel tanks, with 30 months of lees aging. The longer the sparkling wine rests on the lees, the finer its perlage in the glass. The second fermentation happens in the bottle, *méthode traditionnelle*, without shortcuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Palatine Champagne\" is what Philipp affectionately calls his Blanc de Noirs. After disgorgement, he tops up the bottle with original raw sekt, so the wine remains dry—that is, Brut Nature. Philipp bottled his first vintage in 1992; today, the winery manages around 40 hectares.

Serve it in a white wine glass, not a slender flute, so its bouquet can unfold. It is most vibrant when freshly opened, but it will keep for one to two days with a good sparkling wine stopper. For toasting, as an aperitif, or simply in between, a winemaker's sekt for special moments.
