WINE DESCRIPTION
Emerging from the renowned wine region of Champagne, France, Tarlant's BAM! is a unique and captivating expression that challenges the conventions of typical Champagne blends. The acronym "BAM!" stands for the grape varieties used in this innovative cuvée: Pinot Blanc, Arbane, and Petit Meslier. Tarlant, a family-run estate with deep roots in Champagne's winemaking history, has crafted this sparkling wine to offer wine enthusiasts a sip of the region's lesser-known grape treasures.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Tarlant BAM!Champagne presents itself with a pale golden hue and a consistent bead of fine bubbles. The nose is a fresh bouquet of orchard fruits, white blossoms, and a hint of brioche. Taking a sip, one is greeted by a lively palate of green apples, pear, and citrus, underpinned by a unique mineral streak derived from the terroir. The lesser-known grape varieties contribute to its distinctive flavor profile, bringing nuances of white flowers and a hint of spice. The texture is crisp, and the wine is beautifully balanced, culminating in a long, refreshing finish with a touch of salinity. It's a testament to Tarlant's innovative spirit and dedication to showcasing the diversity of Champagne. This sparkling wine is ideal as an aperitif but can also beautifully complement dishes like fresh seafood or creamy cheeses.
