Impressions: This version ‘Zero’ stars the 2015 vintage as the platform for the reserve wines to add complexity. The nose shows a mix of golden apple, toast, cream, citrus, mirabelle plum, and a touch of forest floor. The palate is moderate in weight with taut apple and yellow plum fruit notes nicely balanced by cream, toast and a touch of minerality. The finish is crisp, dry, chalky and extremely lengthy. Serve in a Burgundy stem and taste its evolution in glass.

About the Producer: This 12^th generation estate consists of 14 hectares of vines within 31 lieu-dits of Pinot Noir (50%), Chardonnay (30%) and Pinot Meunier(20%), along with small amounts of Champagne's "forgotten"grapes" - Pinot Blanc, Arbane and Petit Meslier. From empirical observation, siblings Benoît and Mélanie Tarlant have singled out 63 parcels that they vinify individually each vintage, permitting unparalleled precision in blending decisions for base and reserve wine, but also letting them highlight single vineyard expressions of their land.
