Prévost belongs to a small band of Champagne renegades who abandoned the house model of blending across grapes, vintages, and vineyards in pursuit of consistency. Les Béguines is single-vineyard, all Pinot Meunier, hand-harvested at a degree of ripeness most of the region would call reckless. The result is vinous rather than sparkling in the usual sense: intense, textural, built on fruit rather than dosage or dilution. This is what Champagne looks like when nobody's standardizing it.

Tasting Notes

Jerome Prévost is part of a small but growing group of tiny producers making intense, vinous-styled Champagnes. Rather than follow the traditional Champagne model of blending grapes, vintages, and vineyards to produce a "standardized" product, Prevost and his fellow "Champagne Renegades" produce single vineyard, single vintage and single variety wines. Quantities are extremely limited and Prévost wines have reached cult status in recent years.
