The Tarlant's Zero cuvée is their calling card and represents roughly 70% on their total production. The organically farmed, hand-harvested fruit comes from nine hectares of estate parcels spread through four villages (Euilly, Boursault, Celles-lès-Condé, Saint-Agnan) in the Vallée de la Marne. 63 parcels from 31 lieu-dits are each vinified individually and blended after blind tastings to create base or reserve wines according to the vintage. Starting with the 2013 base (commercialized in early 2022), Zéro will be roughly 4% Pinot Blanc, Arbane and Petit Meslier.

Left Sparkling Wine

In Champagne’s Vallée de la Marne, Benoît and Mélanie Tarlant manage their vines and their cellar the way a mad scientist runs his laboratory. A pinch of that, a dash of this; everything is done painstakingly by hand and with keen attention to every detail.

These 12th generation vignerons buck the trends of the Marne, where Pinot Meunier dominates. Instead, the Tarlants have planted half of their 13 hectares to Pinot Noir, and just under a third to Chardonnay.

Tarlant père, Jean-Mary, made waves in Champagne in the ‘70s by producing some of the region’s first Brut Nature wines, with no added dosage; the aim here is to allow the purity of the fruit to beam through the glass, without any manipulations.

With all of the extraordinary terroir, meticulous farming and winemaking techniques practices in use at Tarlant, you'd think the wines would sell for a ton of money—but no, somehow, over 12 generations, the Tarlant name has remained under the radar.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"Tarlant's NV Brut Nature Zero (2012 base) packs a serous punch. Rich, vinous and expansive on the palate, the Brut Nature is a fabulous introduction to this range. Lemon oil, chamomile, dried flowers and apricot all open over time, gaining freshness and aromatic lift. Time in the glass brings up tons of red-fruited intensity from the Pinots. This is such a gorgeous NV Champagne." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 90
"Based on the 2017 vintage and supplemented by 40% reserve wine, Tarlant's NV Brut Nature Zero was disgorged in October 2023 after five and a half years aging sur lattes. Sourced from riverine hillsides and reflecting the mosaic of four villages where the estate owns vines, it is a blend of equal parts Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, with the addition of approximately 4% heirloom varieties. Vinified in wood, it bursts from the glass with notes of pear and fresh bread crust mingling with grapefruit and green apple. Medium- to full-bodied, vinous yet incisive, it is giving and precise, with tangy acids and chalky back-end grip. With some 100,000 bottles produced annually, this is the cornerstone cuvée of the estate." -Kristaps Karklins
