Of the cult-producers making Champagnes in a more Burgundian model - single parcel, single vintage - Jérôme Prévost has to be one of the most challenging to get your hands on. All of Prévost wines are fermented in neutral oak barrels, and then bottled the following summer without fining, filtration, or cold-stabilization, and only a minimal amount of sulfur. Prévost prefers post-disgorgement aging and these wines spend less than three years in on the lees before release – which is why they cannot be officially vintage labeled. Though they are conveniently coded with the year of harvest (LC13 is harvest 2013 for example). There are fewer than 10,000 bottles a year in total production. These are some of the best Champagne additions you can bring to your cellar. With proper mid-term aging they will weave together harmoniously, becoming more structured and generous with each passing year. How long? You will be rewarded with 5-10 years of patience – but, of course, it's a joy to check in with a bottle here and there along the way.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95

"A wine of crystalline tension and precision, the NV (2012) Les Beguines has been exceptional on the two occasions I have had it thus far. Scents of dried pear, almond, mint and sage open up in the bouquet, but it is the wine's textural brilliance that stands out above all else. Salivating and refreshing on the palate, the 2012 is virtually impossible to put down, so captivating is its overall balance. Readers who can find the 2012 before it is gone from the market should not hesitate. This is a triumph from Jérôme Prévost." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 92

"Made from 100% Pinot Meunier, the NV Extra Brut les Béguines (LC 12) is entirely based on the 2012 vintage. The wine has a very delicate and fresh bouquet with lemon flavors, hints of red berries and cherries. There is great purity here. Medium-bodied and very elegant on the palate, this is a delicate, well structured and mineral Champagne with a fine red currant fruit in the long and refreshing finish. May I have another bottle please? "2012 was a very nice and generous vintage," says Jérôme Prévost, who compares this millésime with 2002. After he showed me the LC07 from the 2007 vintage I have to warn you: Drink the first case of this promising Champagne soon, but leave the others untouched for about four or five years, because what you will get then will be so much more complex and simply great." -Stephan Reinhardt

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
