Description
"Here's the first thing you need to know; this was the bottle of Champagne chosen by the Le Du Staff as the bubbly at our Holiday Part this year. The second thing you need to know is Jerome Prevost is the Anakin Skywalker to Anselme Selosse's Obi-Wan. That's a lot of geek talk right in a row so bear with me. Prevost shares Selosse's emphasis on obsessive vineyard work, single site specificity, and barrel fermentation. He has added a focus on Pinot Meunier which has taken firmly hold of the Grower community in Champagne.
"I've written before about the twin poles of Champagne; Intellectual & Hedonistic. Prevost is one of the great Avatars of the Intellectual style. These are sublimely thoughtful Champagnes made in vanishingly small quantities with the extreme care. The elevator pitch is these are Champagnes for lovers of Grand Cru White Burgundy."

Expert Reviews
A new bottling from Prévost debuts with the NV Extra Brut Champagne Grand Cru, a wine produced from grapes purchased from sources that emphasize cultivated soils, low yields and full ripeness (with the date of harvest being determined in consultation with Prévost). Bursting from the glass with aromas of pear, fresh bread, wheat toast, smoke and orange oil, it's full-bodied, ample and saline, with bright acids and a long, mineral finish. It's a superb, rather Burgundian-styled wine that will delight wine lovers who have previously only experienced Prévost's talents as applied to Pinot Meunier.
