FARMING: REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE

Our producers employ a variety of methodologies to grow grapes including permaculture, biodynamic, and organic techniques. By limiting chemical inputs and encouraging soil health and biodiversity they hope to make extraordinary wines that are also sustainable.

WINEMAKING: MINIMAL INTERVENTION

In the winery, our producers eschew additives like engineered yeasts, colouring, sugar, flavouring, preservatives, and enzymes. Instead they rely on growing perfectly balanced fruit, and celebrating the idiosyncrasies of each vintage. Our wines are usually unfined, unfiltered, and are low in sulphur.

 

FEATURED WINE

CHAMPAGNE TARLANT ZÉRO

About: This cuvée is made from Chardonnay (32%), Pinot Noir (32%), Pinot Meunier (32%), with a small portion of Petit Meslier, Arbanne, and Pinot Blanc. 60% of the wine was harvested between the first and eleventh of September 2017, while the remainder is made up of reserve wine from previous vintages. This cuvée is the summation of all their vineyards: Oeuilly, Boursault, Celles-les-Condé, and Saint-Agnan. The average vine age is over forty years old. Soils vary from limestone (Lutetian and Thanetian), to Campanian chalk, Sparnacian flintstone, and Lutetian sand. The grapes are slowly whole cluster pressed and the juice is moved by gravity to neutral barrel for spontaneous fermentation. Each parcel is kept separate. The wines don’t often undergo malolactic conversion because of the low pH and cold cellar temperatures. The wine was blended and bottled in April 2018 with organic sugar and yeast isolated from their own vineyards. The wine was disgorged in July of 2023 after more than five years on lees. This is a brut zero with no added sugar in the dosage. 12% ABV

We’re celebrating our first BC shipment of Claire Naudin’s impossibly beautiful wines. We’ve recently written an obnoxiously detailed profile on her and her vineyards for our website (perhaps the most extensive on the internet), but
