Prévost, La Closerie 'Les Beguines' LB23 South Africa Grape: CinsaultPlace: Champagne, France Grape: Pinot Meunier Vibe: Hectic A rarity, an oddity, a majestic bottling. Historically one of my favourite producers to drink, although that's becoming a harder and harder task. Anyway, managed to crack one open last weekend. Pulsing and savoury but in an effortless sense. The earthen, lightly oxy stuff can be off putting for some, but that's fine, more for us.
