This is an intriguing set of wines from the Tarlant family. Both Brut Zero Champagnes are terrific entry-level offerings. I also found much to like in the BAM, Tarlant’s Pinot Blanc/Arbanne/Petit Meslier blend, and the Cuvée Louis. Some of the newer additions to the range, including a set of Coteaux Champenois (still whites and reds) are clearly works in progress. Lastly, there is no new release of the flagship La Vigne d’Antan this year.

Benoit Tarlant makes some of the most unique, idiosyncratic wines in Champagne. There is plenty to like in these new releases, starting with two terrific wines in the Zero range, the BAM and the very promising 2004 Brut Nature La Vigne d'Antan, which emerges from a vineyard with beach sand-like soils right by the winery.

Never one to stay still for too long, Benoit Tarlant has a few new wines in the pipeline, including the Argilité, which is fermented in amphore and the LPQT (La Pierre Qui Tombe), a 100% Chardonnay from a vineyard rich in silex. The current releases are all terrific examples of the house style that emphasizes richness, vinosity and low dosage throughout the range.

Benoit Tarlant is one of the most gifted growers in Champagne. Working with a handful of tiny parcel and cramped cellar, Tarlant crafts rich, vinous wines of true character. Sadly, these wines don't seem to get the recognition and exposure they deserve. At their best, though, Tarlant's Champagnes compete with the very best in the region.

Benoit Tarlant's wines are nearly impossible to find in the US, but I rarely miss a chance to drink them, as they are magnificent. One need to look no further than the 2003s to get a clear idea of Tarlant's sheer talent. And if readers are looking for true profoundness, the 2002 La Vigne d'Antan, which emerges from a site planted with own-rooted Chardonnay on sand, will do the trick. Simply put, these new releases from Benoit Tarlant are magnificent. Readers won't want to miss them.
