The Tarlant family traces their winegrowing history back to 1687, when Pierre Tarlant first cultivated grapevines in the Marne Valley. In 1928, Louis Adrien Tarlant produced the familys first estate-bottled champagne, and since then there have been four successive generations of Tarlants producing wine at their estate in the village of Oeuilly. Today the estate is in the hands of Benot Tarlant, who has been making wine here since 1999.

The diversity of soils in this area of the Marne Valley results in a complex signature of terroir that is strongly reflected in Tarlants wines. These are ample, full-flavored champagnes, influenced by their close proximity to the Marne River, as well as by Tarlants sophisticated use of oak for vinification. They are always impeccably structured thanks to the lack of malolactic, and they are dosed very low, below six grams or down to zero.

The BAM! project as some call it, is named after both Benot AndMlanie (BAM), his sister who works on the communication and marketing side of the estate. It also stands for Pinot Blanc, Arbanne and Petit Meslier.

This Tarlant BAM Brut Nature is released from harvests of 2007 and 2008, and degorged in 11th Feburary 2014. Only 1100 bottles produced.
