To kick off Champagne season (which really never ends for us, see: Champagne Club) we are thrilled to welcome Benoît Tarlant for another salon-style producer visit. Champagne Tarlant has been fiercely independent for more than a century. In 1911, Louis Tarlant helped lead the Champagne Revolution, fighting against the big houses' use of imported grapes. Today, 12th-generation winemaker Benoît Tarlant and his sister Mélanie continue that uncompromising spirit, farming 14 hectares across 31 historic sites in the Marne Valley. Their meticulous, parcel-by-parcel approach, native fermentations, minimal sulfur, and extended aging produce Champagnes of remarkable precision and individuality that are truly terroir-driven. The family also pioneered zero-dosage Champagne in the 1970s, long before Brut Nature became fashionable. Join us for a rare opportunity to taste these exceptional wines with Benoît himself!
We'll be showing the Zero Brut Nature NV (2017 base), Rose Zero Brut Nature NV (2018 base), BAM! Brut Nature NV (2012 Base), Cuvée Louis Brut Nature 1996, and the Argilité IV 2015.
Space is limited to ensure seating for all so reserve today!
