Melanie Tarlant's Story
Melanie Tarlant's Story
"Because a champagnegrower's story dating back to 1687 can not be sum-up in few words, here is a good introduction by reading a recent note by the blogger from A boire et à manger:
'When you are the twelfth generation of Tarlant winegrower in Champagne, with a production that is sold rather well, it's especially tempting not to upset the established order. Many large Houses do this perfectly, producing a boring wine. None of this with Tarlant: the XXIst century starts with fanfares with Benoît and Melanie. If the brother has rejuvenated the wines's range offering highlights to the terroir differences, the sister has propelled a modern spirit betting on social networks'
Now, you can easily imagine how happy we are to be directly in contact with you when drinking Tarlant Champagne live with us.
The first choice of Naked Wines Team goes to the cuvée Tradition Tarlant, an almost naked wine (a low dosage champagne), it's the best taste to the Tarlant style with a hint of roundness to it.
Our philosophy of Champagne wines is particularly attached to tasting experience and is present throughout our handcrafted Champagne range with three keywords: nature, pleasure and audacity.
During a Tarlant tasting, a champagne specialist comments: 'This is a stunning set of new releases from Benoît Tarlant. All of the wines show incredible purity and transparency. Although some of these Champagnes are vinified and aged in oak, none of the wines undergo malolactic fermentation. Tarlant's back labels also happen to be among the most informative in Champagne, which makes the wines even more consumer-friendly.'
We can't wait to hear YOUR Tarlant tastings.
