La Closerie Les Béguines LC23 Extra Brut NV is sourced from a single hectare of old-vine Pinot Meunier planted in the village of Gueux, within the Montagne de Reims. This historic parcel, Les Béguines, sits on sandy soils over limestone, producing fruit of remarkable aromatic lift and textural depth. The LC23 release continues Prévost’s meticulous multi-vintage approach, blending recent harvests with reserve wines to build complexity while preserving the character of the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the wine is expressive yet composed, revealing layers of fruit, spice, and mineral nuance. Fermentation and ageing in used oak barrels contribute subtle structure and a gently oxidative character, enhancing both texture and aromatic breadth. The low dosage allows the wine’s natural balance to shine, with a fine mousse carrying flavours seamlessly across the palate. There is a quiet intensity here—richness without excess, power without weight—guided by precision and restraint. As it opens, the wine reveals increasing detail and nuance, rewarding both immediate enjoyment and patient contemplation. It pairs effortlessly with dishes such as roasted poultry, truffle-infused preparations, or aged Comté, while also standing confidently on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Layered and aromatic\u003cbr\u003eAromas of baked apple, pear and quince intertwined with dried flowers, brioche, toasted almond and a hint of spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Textural and precise\u003cbr\u003eMedium to full-bodied, showing orchard fruit, citrus zest and savoury notes, supported by fine mousse, creamy texture and a distinct mineral core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and refined\u003cbr\u003eA persistent, dry finish with saline minerality, gentle spice and lingering nutty complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The NV Extra-Brut Les Béguines LC23 is terrific.
