Champagne Argilité Brut Nature
France
Champagne
2016

100% Chardonnay. From a single parcel of vines planted by Tarlant in 1987 in the lieu-dit of Notre Dame in Celliers-lès-Condés in the Vallée de la Marne. The plot features Lutetian limestone soils and faces south on a slope overlooking the confluence of the Surmelin and Dhuys rivers. In 2016, the family continued its exploration of clay-aged wines with the bunches from this vineyard. The bunches were gently pressed them and the juice fed into underground amphorae. The wine fermented spontaneously and spent 10 months on the lees with no malolactic fermentation in the amphorae. It was bottled in May 2017 and aged sur lattes until the first disgorgement in June 2023. The name comes from argile, French for clay.
