Pierre Tarlant於Marne Valley種植葡萄樹，而Tarlant家族就於1687年開始釀酒。1928年，Louis Adrien Tarlant生產了第一支家族香檳，其後他們便於OEuilly村出產香檳，延綿四代。時至今日，於1999年傳至Benoît Tarlant手中並開始產酒。
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 family’s 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 Benoît Tarlant, who has been making wine here since 1999.
在2004年，葡萄經歷悠長的熟成期，並在九月下旬才收割。這令香檳添了深刻的香氣及完美的平衡，仿如空氣般輕柔，故被命名為L’Aérienne，葡萄選自數個特選葡萄田。這是一支Champagne Brut Nature，即是零加糖香檳。
In 2004, the long maturation of the grapes, harvested late in September, gave an intense aromatic expression and a great balance, almost aerial. hence the name of this wine, L'Aérienne, from a few selected plots. It is a Champagne Brut Nature, that is to say non-dosed.

品酒筆記Tasting Notes:
2004 Brut Nature Rosé l'Aérienne 在杯中展開並散發著紅色漿果、甘草、橙皮和溫熱新鮮麵包的香氣。酒體中等至飽滿，輪廓分明且銳利，核心緊緻、張力十足，收結幼細粉質。
The 2004 Brut Nature Rosé l'Aérienne unfurling in the glass with a shy bouquet of red berries, licorice, orange rind and warm bread. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, chiseled and incisive, with a taut, tensile core and a chalky finish. (Issue 244 End of August 2019, The Wine Advocate)
