As some will remember, Prévost felt that his sublime 2012 Les Béguines was his best release since his stunning 2008s. As such he decided to separate a single demi-muid, which he treated with a longer élevage (24 months on lees) and then extended bottle maturation. This is that wine; 600 bottles disgorged in late 2016 and made available to only four importers. Whist acknowledging that in English the word carries another connotation, Prévost has called the wine “Les Béguines Climax”. In French it means something like apogée, as in the final point that can be reached or the maximum that something can be pushed. Regardless of how you take the term, this wine represents one of the rare, rare opportunities to taste a Prévost Champagne with a few years under its belt.
