Champagne Tarlant Rosé Brut
To the wine
A blend of 50 % Chardonnay, 44 % Pinot Noir and 6 % Meunier from the 2009 and 2008 vintages, aged in wooden barrels. Disgorged in August 2015 with 6 grams of dosage.
Color
strawberry coloured with fine perlage
Nose
The strawberry not only determines the colour of the Tarlant Rosé Brut, but also initially the aromatic prelude. Strawberry compote mixes with raspberries, red apple, cranberry and pomelo on a base of brioche and slightly caramelized whole cane sugar. A hint of white flowers and spices float on top. One can already sense the slight sweetness of the Brut in the coherent, lush and inviting aroma.
Palate
On the palate, Benoit Tarlant's Rosé Brut is both juicy and mouth-filling, evoking the bite of orange flesh. The creamy yeast notes are immediately present, which make the champagne elegant. In the background, one senses plums and currants. The sparkling wine is also smoky and chalky on the palate with a lot of draft and pressure - very skilful.
