Representing 70% of the total production, "Zero" is the Tarlant's calling card and consists of a nonvintage, no-dosage wine made equal parts Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay. For an entry-level wine, a huge amount of thought is put into its creation:
"Zero is a reflection of the four villages we work in and the goal is to express a Champagne without the external sugar masking the land's characteristics.”
The organically farmed, hand-harvested fruit comes from nine hectares of estate parcels spread through four villages (Œuilly, Boursault, Celles-lès-Condé, Saint-Agnan) in the Vallée de la Marne. 63 parcels from 31 lieu-dits are each vinified individually and blended after blind tastings to create base or reserve wines according to the vintage. Starting with the 2013 base (commercialized in early 2022), Zéro will be roughly 4% Pinot Blanc, Arbane, and Petit Meslier.
