Tarlant, Coteaux Champenois, Longue Attente Rouge 2016
One chipped wax capsule; lightly bin soiled labels
The 2016 Tarlant Coteaux Champenois Rouge is a still red wine made from Pinot Noir, showcasing the versatility of the Champagne region. Planted in 1982 in selection massale by Maurice Boiselle and Jean-Mary Tarlant. In its first commercial release, only 593 bottles of this Coteaux Champenois were produced. The name translates to "Long Wait."
The grapes are destemmed and macerate for 15 days with light pigeages and delicate remontages in an "infusion" style. 20 to 25mg per liter of sulfur is added at press. The wine aged on its fine lees for 27 months in Burgundian barrels.

Second time drinking this. Sophomore slump, but still deeply moving. NOSE: Deathly reticent subterranean reserves of perfumed, raspberry and plum pulp. Seething, pungent herbs. A drop of mustard oil. MOUTH: flamboyantly savory, with authority, while seeping with juices extracted from silk pages pressed, in the distant past, with berries and lilacs. The experience forces its own slow pace. It’s like a curtain coming down on summer. The whoosh is audible. The sudden eclipse of bright light cools my eyes. I begin to taste prunes from the roots. TIME: What was that savory performance? The question dances into the void left by the curtain. Groomed thatch, bramble, and root. As it drinks, as it accumulates narrative momentum, these structural elements are surrounded by shameless plant sex. (The word “fruit” will not do.) Drinking it from the Ball Jar seems to concentrate its husky, rugged frame. It’s like driving a 1978 Chevy pickup fully loaded with illegal morels and porcini. The finish is richly sour. The acidity is like a cured spirit, a marine oil. Firm. 95+ points. I'll wait as long as I can to drink the next bottle. 10/10/2021
