Deep violet color. Heady, spice-accented red and dark berry aromas, along with suggestions of smoky bacon and licorice. Juicy and lithe on the palate, offering bitter cherry and black raspberry flavors that put on weight as the wine opens up. Shows fine definition and spicy cut on a long, juicy finish that features gently gripping tannins and a lingering suggestion of cracked pepper. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, December 2022)

The new “Esperluette” cuvée. In the words of Jérôme Prévost, “For this cuvée, we are still 100% Pinot Meunier, always 100% from the terroir of Gueux.  20% reserve wine 2017 completed with 80% wine from harvest 2018, 20% of which is from Béguines. We work some of these vines ourselves, in the same spirit and with the same touch as in Les Béguines.”

My first time tasting this cuvée. There is such singularity to his wines and really I don’t think anyone can match what Prevost is doing with 100% Pinot Meunier. Although, I definitely want to try Aurelien Lurquin. As with the Béguines, it’s so terroir expressive, supported by bruised stone fruit, baking spices and riveting energy and tension. It needs a great deal of air to really show its stuff and then it is truly oh so giving. — 3 years ago

A quiet tutorial in balance. Texture is pillowy and fatty and slips into some aromatics of white flowers and pear, flavors of peach and blanched almonds, and an exit where the acid finally shows up - but right on time. Think about biting into a pear and tasting the tart skin only at the very end. That’s this. — 5 years ago

This is for the les forcieres sparkling 100% Pinot noir @delectable Quite rich broad and oxidative. Could have used time or air but may have gotten even more oxy qualities with either? Nice length and minerality. — 2 years ago

An absolute stunner! So singular and such an incredible expression of Meunier. Insanely complex, precise and energetic. A new favorite Rosé to go along with Facsimile and Selosse. Although this is even more rare, 200 bottles produced/year. — 3 years ago
