Tarlant Champagne Brut Nature Le Triumvirat 2009 750ml

58% Chardonnay/42% Pinot Noir. Most vintages, the Tarlants make a unique, usually multi-parcel wine as a snapshot of that particular vintage's personality. This blend came from three plots--L'Enclume, Crayons and Sablés--hence the "Triumvirat" moniker. 2009 was according to Benoît Tarlant "a very solar year, of richness and power". All of the vines are organically farmed and harvested by hand, with the clusters very slowly and gently pressed. The juice ferments spontaneously with native yeasts in Burgundy barrels; the wine does not go through malolactic fermentation. Triumvirat was bottled in 2010,disgorged in 2023 and received zero dosage.
