Disgorged in 2021, this new and ultra rare bottling from Prévost has debuted with the LC19 release comprised from grapes purchased “from sources that emphasize cultivated soils, low yields and full ripeness.” The base wine is a blend of equal parts Chardonnay from Le Mesnil and Pinot Noir from Puisieulx, at the northern end of the Montagne de Reims. Then, there is 20% reserve wine from 2018. While of course very young, it shows incredible depth and complexity today, and quite Burgundian and to no surprise, vinous in its expression. It flaunts a deep caramelized stone fruited profile with salted hazelnuts, curry leaf, gun smoke and lavender. The full bodied and satiny textured palate is just riveting with energy and it gives way to a mineral and saline driven finish that goes on and on. Wowza. — 3 years ago
All grand cru, 69% cote de blancs, but the rest from Sillery and Puisieulx on the flats of the north facing slope of the mountain of Reims. Very expressive now, but with a long future in front of it, this wine has great baguette and Brie aromas with the incisive minerality of the terroir and great acid of the vintage to back it up. — 11 years ago
