Jerome Prevost La Closerie Les Beguines LC17 Champagne
Jérôme Prévost is a micro grower producer based in the picture perfect village of Gueux, on the edge of the Mountain de Reims or what the locals call la Petite Mountain. Here, in the north west of Champagne, he grows a tiny quantity of remarkable, age worthy Pinot Meunier from a single, two hectare plot of forty year old vines.
The NV Extra Brut Les Béguines LC 17 will be disgorged in October, and it has clearly turned out very well despite the challenging year, wafting from the glass with aromas of citrus oil, candle wax, white flowers, warm bread and spices, with only hints of the further complexity to come. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, with a ripe and enveloping core of fruit underpinned by racy acids. 94 Points William Kelley - The Wine Advocate
