Champagne Tarlant La Lutétienne 2005

Anecdote of this cuvée : Here is a new Champagne Brut Nature from La Maison Tarlant. This superb cuvée takes its name from the Lutetian limestone subsoil and is Parisian if we refer to the ancient Lutetia (Paris) built of Lutetian limestone. A full-bodied, delicious, greedy and round Champagne; well-fleshed out in style. A long finish, with a superb mineral side, worthy of the Tarlant house! Limited edition : 2 800 bottles produced ! It is and will remain rare!
