MV Tarlant, Champagne Brut Zero

Champagne Tarlant is special for many reasons: The family has been farming in Champagne’s Marne Valley for 12 generations, they incorporate a diversity of extremely rare “heirloom” grape varieties into many of their wines (including Arbane and Petit Meslier), and the current winemaker, Benoît Tarlant, is one of the most gifted and well-liked experts of vineyard and cellar techniques in the region. But the real story here is about the wines. Across the board, Tarlant’s house style is muscular, direct, mineral-driven and delicious. You can spend hours with one bottle, carefully deciphering all it has to say as the temperature slowly rises and the wine opens up. A great bottle of Tarlant is a unique experience, don’t miss it!

Benoît worked his first vintage in 1999 and has single handedly brought his family’s estate into the modern era by vinifying parcels se
