2006 Champagne Tarlant, La Vigne d'Or, Blanc de Meuniers, Brut Nature

Disgorged June 2022, 0 dosage and only 1300 bottles made.

This is one of the region best known, and most averred 100% Pinot Meuniers. Grown on steep slopes of Oeuilly above the Marne river which over time has revealed the complex clay and limestone soils. The vineyard itself, is the organic North East facing, Pierre de Bellevue lieu-dits planted by the Tarlant family in 1947. Soft pressing, wild fermentation and 7 months in Burgundian barrique, no malolactic to hold tension. This is a unique Champagne, vinous and rich yet poised with crystalline energy. Earthy minerality layered with waxy fruits, wild flowers and golden apple charm. Complex and very long.
