Prevost La Closerie Les Beguines Extra Brut LC13 NV (750ML)

95 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: “The NV (2013) Extra-Brut Les Beguines is just as impressive as it has always been. In 2013, the Beguines benefits from a long growing season and an October harvest, something that has become exceedingly rare in Champagne. The white orchard fruit, citrus peel, herb and floral notes speak with clarity and precision. All the elements simply fall into place in a first-rate Champagne of pedigree and total class. Readers who can still find the 2013 should not hesitate, as it is fabulous.” 07/18

97 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “The NV Extra Brut Les Béguines LC 13 was showing brilliantly, to the extent that I think even Prévost himself was a little taken aback by how good it was. Produced from grapes harvested in October at full maturity, the wine soars from the glass with scents of yellow orchard fruit, orange zest, toasted macadamia nuts and dried white flowers. It's full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with excellent concentration, ripe but racy acids and a long, saline finish. It's a vintage of Les Béguines that isn't represented in my cellar, and I left kicking myself that I hadn't purchased any bottles.” 08/19
