NV Tarlant Champagne "Zéro" Brut Nature 375ml

The Zéro Brut Nature is the signature cuvée of the Tarlant family, who have produced wine in Oeuilly since 1687. This non-dosed champagne is an equal parts blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay. The wine emphasizes maturity through old vines in the vineyard, long ageing in old oak barrels, and extended lees ageing sur lattes before disgorgement of 48 months. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel before barrel ageing. This artisanal champagne expresses the purity of its terroir with fabulous complexity, depth, vinous concentration, and creaminess resulting from its unusually long ageing process.
