Jérôme Prévost 'La Closerie Les Béguines LC19' Extra Brut NV

The LC19 edition of 'La Closerie Les Béguines' is crafted predominantly from the 2019 harvest, complemented by 20% reserve wine from 2018. This Extra Brut Champagne is composed primarily of Pinot Meunier, sourced from Prévost's 2.2-hectare vineyard, Les Béguines. The vineyard's soil is a complex layer of calcareous sand over clay, contributing to the wine's distinctive minerality. The vines, planted in the 1960s, are deeply rooted, enhancing the expression of terroir. Aged extensively on its lees, this Champagne offers a rare combination of expressiveness and refinement.

Appearance: Pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles.
Nose: Aromas of red flowers, currant, marzipan, and meringue.
Palate: Elegant and fine mousse, highlighting pure fruit of ripe red berries, a silky mineral texture, and delicate salinity.
Finish: Long and harmonious, with a refreshing minerality.
