Tasting Notes

WA94

North Berkeley is to be credited for bringing the Tarlant Champagnes to America. The superb Non-Vintage Cuvee Louis Brut is reminiscent of a grand cru white Burgundy with bubbles. The wine exhibits a buttery, toasty, smoky nose with background notes of honey and roasted nuts. With great fruit, a persistent effervescence, and tiny pinpoint bubbles, this is a terrific, fresh, pure Champagne that well-informed sources tell me comes completely from the 1990 vintage, a year destined to be one of the all-time great Champagne vintages. It should drink well for 5-10 years.
