Prévost La Closerie Les Béguines Brut Nature
Jérôme Prévost is a one time student of Anselme Selosse and you can see the effect of his experience chez Selosse in this wine. The wine is produced in painfully small quantities — 4000 to 5000 bottles a year — and this bottle was a 2004 disgorgement. This nose showed the worked oxidative style of Selosse but not as over the top. More like a richer Corton Charlemagne or Meursault. The palate has amazing acidity which demands food but it drops away a little too quickly. Something makes me feel that a little dosage would have fixed that but I’m not a vigneron. Regardless, a very interesting wine, needed a few more years in bottle, but shows that this young vigneron is going to do great things in time.
