Tasting Notes

95
Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Jul 17
Prévost's 2012 Les Beguines (Late Release) is the same wine as the original release, but it spent an additional year in cask. Powerful, dense and captivating in every way, the Late Release hits all the right notes. The 2012 is quite vertical in its structure, yet also possesses tons of pure fruit intensity. At press time Prévost was unsure of the release date for this wine, or of its exact name. Dosage is 2.5 grams per liter. Disgorged August 2015.
Drinking Date: 2017 - 2032

Champagne

Champagne, exclusively from France's Champagne region, is synonymous with luxury and celebration. Made primarily from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, it undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating its signature bubbles. Flavours range from crisp green apple and citrus to rich, toasty notes of nuts and honey. Yeast contact in the bottle contributes to pastry and brioche notes, which are a key part of good quality Champagne. Top producers include Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Krug.
