Philippe Stark Blanc 2015 is a brut nature white blend Champagne consisting of 37% pinot noir, 46% chardonnay, and 17% meunier. The wine is 23% vinified in oak.
Nose: The bouquet is pure, elegant, vertical, rich and concentrated. There are nuances of ripe fruit combined with exceptional finesse: fine, delicate citrus peel (lemon, orange) and vanilla (Madagascar bourbon vanilla) along with warmer notes of baked apple and Tarte Tatin that gradually give way to aromas of nougat.
Palate: The palate offers a marked and singular contrast: it is very expressionist thanks to the broad, juicy, almost sensual texture of the Cumières clay soils in a sunny year, yet distinctly minimalist due to a fresh, pure, mineral and mouthwatering backbone associated with its zero dosage. Ripe citrus fruit combines with warm stone notes further accentuating the mouthwatering, umami sensation. The finish is light, energetic and ethereal.
