The NV (2015) Extra-Brut Les Beguines is laced with intense floral and mineral notes that at times show distinct Riesling-like inflections. In this release, Beguines is a bit less angular and severe than it often is at this stage in its life. Dried apricot, sage and chamomile are some of the many nuances that open up in this distinctive and highly expressive Champagne from Jérôme Prévost. The 2015 is medium in body, and yet my impression is that there is a good deal of concentration lurking in the background. Disgorged August 2017. Dosage is 2.8 grams per liter.In Bond£323.71 -

The 2018 Extra-Brut Les Beguines is a gorgeous Champagne from Jérôme Prévost. In this release, the Beguines is a bit more ethereal than it can be. There is plenty of Meunier character, with dried orchard fruit, spice and hazelnut flavors that are nicely lifted. This edition is 90% 2018 plus 10% reserve wines, all done in the 600-liter casks that Prévost favors. What the 2018 lacks in depth it more than makes up for with its charm and accessibility. Dosage is 2.5 grams per liter. (Originally published in May 2021)In Bond£1,888.00 -

The NV Grand Cru (base 2022) is 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir from Le Mesnil and Puisieulx, respectively. Dense and quite powerful, the 2022 offers quite a bit of textural richness. Tropical overtones add an exotic flair while also recalling the solar intensity of a year marked by heat and drought. I find it a bit reduced and therefore suggest readers open the wine as far in advance as possible. Hints of passion fruit, coconut, hazelnut and dried flowers linger. Dosage is 2.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: October 2025.In Bond£455.00 -

A blend of roughly equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the 2008 Brut Cuvée Josephine was disgorged after ten years sur lattes. Offering up a reserved bouquet of warm biscuits, dried citrus rind and yellow apple, it's medium to full-bodied, with a somewhat firm and compact profile, missing the plenitude that characterizes some of the house's more recent offerings. This is a creditable but somewhat conservative effort that seems to have more to do with the house's past than its future.In Bond£390.72 -
