Champagne Tarlant Brut Nature Zero

1/3 Chardonnay, 1/3 Pinot Noir, 1/3 Pinot Meunier. This cuvée makes up 70-90% of Tarlant’s production and “is my daily obsession” says Benoît Tarlant. Zero reflects the Tarlant emphasis on unadorned terroir, with no selected yeasts and no dosage The compostion is generally 60% of the base vintage–in this case 2012–plus 40% reserve wine–here from 2008-2011. The organically farmed, hand-harvested fruit comes potentially from all 62 of Tarlant’s parcels from across 4 villages (Oeuilly, Boursault, St-Agnan and Celles-lès-Condé), and incredibly, each is vinified separately to give maximum flexibility in dialing in the blend.
