Tarlant Champagne Zéro Brut Nature n.v.




Here we are in Oeuilly, in the heart of the Marna Valley, and Tarlant is an ancient champenoise family, winemakers since 1687.

This is an assemblage, in equal percentages, of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, with the addition of reserve wines, has not played malolactic fermentation, stopping almost five years sur lattes, with disgorgement in January 2013.

The cup is yellow, almost golden, with green flashes and a fine and continuous effervescence.
It starts quietly, softly, but I knew it; after it attacks with a nose of fresh grilled bread, white flowers, nuts and many citrus - lemon and mandarin - and a strong mineral characterization and aromas of mushroom.

In the mouth is convincing for consistency and for its structure that reflects the terroir. Despite being a zero dosage, the straightness is measured and caressing. The sip is very balanced.

A sharp and elegant minerality, a strong and clean presence of iodate and brackish aromas, give completeness to this drink, sleek, with beautiful persistence, precision and finesse.
