Champagne Tarlant Reserve Brut NV

Pierre Tarlant於Marne Valley種植葡萄樹，而Tarlant家族就於1687年開始釀酒。1928年，Louis Adrien Tarlant生產了第一支家族香檳，其後他們便於Oeuilly村出產香檳，延綿四代。時至今日，他們的村在Benoît Tarlant手中，並於1999年開始產酒。

Marne Valley土壤多元化，令Tarlant的酒擁有複雜風土，由於鄰近Marne River，加Tarlant仔細運用木桶，令他們的香檳豐腴，味道濃郁。

值得分享的香檳，Reserve Tarlant是喜慶時的不二之選，它和諧及平衡，是優質正統的酒，盡現釀酒功架。

The Tarlant family traces their winegrowing history back to 1687, when Pierre Tarlant first cultivated grapevines in the Marne Valley. In 1928, Louis Adrien Tarlant produced the family’s first estate-bottled champagne, and since then there have been four successive generations of Tarlants producing wine at their estate in the village of Oeuilly. Today the estate is in the hands of Benoît Tarlant, who has been making wine here since 1999.

The diversity of soils in this area of the Marne Valley results in a complex signature of terroir that is strongly reflected in Tarlant’s wines. These are ample, full-flavored champagnes, influenced by their close proximity to the Marne River, as well as by Tarlant’s sophisticated use of oak for vinification.

A champagne for sharing. Reserve Tarlant is a safe bet when celebrating. Harmonious and balanced, it is a fine cuvee of winemaking authenticity.
