Tarlant Cuvee Louis Brut Nature 1996 (750ML)

95 Points, Antonio Galloni, Antonio Galloni: "The 1996 Brut Nature Cuvée Louis Tarlant is a current release, a Champagne that has aged calmly in the Tarlant cellars for 20 years—remarkable for a time when everything moves so fast. Baked apple tart, crushed flowers, dried herbs, apricot and a kiss of French oak are all vibrant in the glass. The 1996 is a bit rustic, but it is also incredibly human. This is an especially fine bottle. Disgorged: June 2, 2025." 05/26

98 Points, Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com: "The 1996 Champagne Cuvée Louis Tarlant Brut Nature is crafted from clay subsoils and exhibits both concentrated fruit and high freshness. This is not an enothèque release – it's the first time they are releasing this wine. Full and round, it’s incredible on the nose, with apricot, croissant, and fresh nuttiness; it’s so good. Full-bodied, yet focused and precise, the mousse disappears into the fabric of the wine, and it lasts long on the palate with hazelnut and subtle coffee notes. Drink 2025-2050." 12/25
