Description

Champagne Tarlant produces top-quality Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay from which to fashion an impressive range of wines.

This superb family run champagne house is centred in oeuilly in the Vallee de la Marne, it is on the cusp of Biodynamic certification. The wine maker and owner Benoit is one of the few Champenois who, along with Krug and Bollinger still ferment their base wines in barre, block the malolactic fermentation in order to give greater ageing potential and believe in ageing thier wines for far longer than the legal minimum.

Without added sugar (Zero = zero dosage) this is a frank and fresh champagne which reveals the character of the fruit. Chardonnay, Pinot Meurnier and Pinot Noir grapes are hand-selected at optimum maturity and carefully blended. The first fermentation is in stainless steel, the reserve wines are drawn from oak casks.

TASTING NOTES

On the nose, experience the scents of wax, honey, lemon and mandarin.

On the palate enjoy the length and citrus finish, delivered with a lovely honesty and openness.
