Tarlant L'Étincelante Brut nature 2002, 75 cl

The Millésime Prestige l'Étincelante 2002 is a Chardonnay-dominated blend that unfolds a generous and exciting array of aromas. Ripe yet precise fruit flavors mingle with notes of brioche and flint. On the palate, it is intensely and invigoratingly fresh, with a juicy, slightly chalky texture and a stimulating salinity in the long, youthful finish. Stephan Reinhardt, Robert Parker's taster, is enthusiastic: "This is one of the best vintage Champagnes I have tasted here so far." Siblings Melanie and Benoît Tarlant give each vintage a special name that reflects its character. This demonstrates their close connection to nature, coupled with a remarkable intuition.
