58% Chardonnay/42% Pinot Noir. Most vintages, the Tarlants make a unique, usually multi-parcel wine as a snapshot of that particular vintage's personality. This blend came from three plots--L'Enclume, Crayons and Sablés--hence the "Triumvirat" moniker. 2009 was according to Benoît Tarlant "a very solar year, of richness and power". All of the vines are organically farmed and harvested by hand, with the clusters very slowly and gently pressed. The juice ferments spontaneously with native yeasts in Burgundy barrels; the wine does not go through malolactic fermentation. Triumvirat was bottled in 2010,disgorged in 2023 and received zero dosage. 

(*Note that the Tarlants make a subtle distinction between their terroir wines and vintage wines. The terroir wines--Vigne d'Antan, Vigne d'Or, and Vigne Royale--feature those names on the front label, while the vintage is tucked on the back in tiny type. The unique vintage-forward bottlings--like Triumvirat 2009--feature the vintage in large type on the front with the whimsical name in much smaller type below it. The latter are only made in vintages that the Tarlants feel can age a minimum of 10 years.)
