Champagne Tarlant Zero Brut Nature NV

Tarlant’s “Zero” Brut Nature Champagne is a balanced blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier (each 32%), with small amounts of Petit Meslier, Arbanne, and Pinot Blanc. Made without added sugar (zero dosage) and fermented with natural yeasts, it reflects the house’s focus on a pure, unadorned expression of terroir. The blend is based largely on the 2017 vintage (about 60%), complemented by 40% reserve wines, with fruit sourced from organically farmed, hand-harvested parcels across four villages. Each parcel is vinified separately, then aged in a range of Burgundy barrels before blending. The wine was bottled in 2018 and disgorged in 2023, resulting in a precise, dry Champagne that highlights both craftsmanship and site.
