Only 272 bottles of this still Chardonnay were made, from the same parcel Tarlant also bottles as a single-vineyard Champagne. Coteaux Champenois is Champagne's appellation for wines without bubbles, so this is a rare chance to taste one of the family's prized sites with nothing in the way. That fits the house: Benoît Tarlant's father, Jean-Mary, started bottling most of the estate's Champagne with no dosage in the late 1970s. L'Enclume means "the anvil," named for the vineyard's shape. It sits in Oeuilly, the family's home village in the Vallée de la Marne, on flint pebbles over flint-sand, a soil that is quite rare in the area. The vines are farmed organically and all the work is done by hand. The grapes are pressed gently as whole clusters, and the juice moves by gravity into Burgundy barrels, where it ferments on its own yeasts. The 2020 spent 15 months in barrel and was bottled by hand in December 2021, with no fining or filtration. It's a wine for anyone who has wondered what great Champagne terroir tastes like without the bubbles.

More about Tarlant

Tarlant was making zero dosage Champagne in the 1970s when everyone thought they were insane. Decades later, they're still 90% no-dosage, letting 'time be their dosage' through long élevage. These are some of Champagne's most refreshing, honest bubbles.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Bowler Wine has to say about this wine:

100% Chardonnay. From a small estate parcel in the lieu-dit of Enclume. The vines were planted in 1970 on flinty, sandy, pebbly soils. The farming is organic and all work including harvest by hand. The whole clusters are gently pressed and the must settled overnight and moved by gravity into Burgundy barrels. Fermentation is spontaneous. The 2020 was aged in barrel for 15 months. It was bottled by hand in December 2021 without fining or filtering. Production: 272 bottles.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Seared scallops in brown butter; sole meunière; roast chicken with morels and cream; aged Comté; a mushroom and Gruyère tart.

Tasting Profile

Expect a taut, still Chardonnay in the Coteaux Champenois mould: lemon, green apple and white flowers, with a smoky, flinty edge from the flint soils and a subtle toastiness from Burgundy barrels. Think a leaner, more mineral white Burgundy with Champagne's bracing acidity, a light-to-medium body and a long, dry, saline finish.
