  Off the list at Parcelles, this may well have been the first LC 20-release & I've tried? It's also my first experience of any Prévost wine to illuminate a stylistic continuity with Selosse: I'm better used to youthfully exuberant tropical notes from the &, but this revealed an unexpectedly nutty richness. Air continued to unfurl a dusky, delicious oxidative character with caramelized depths of toffee-coated apple. For me, this showing of & made the case that it might be less of a little sibling to Les Béguines and may soon merit the same esteem.

  BYOB dinner NOTK (NOTK, Rotterdam): I had this on my wish list for quite a while and was slightly disappointed. Medium intensity with oxidative notes, brioche, citrus, some honey. High acidity, long finish. 91+

  100% Meunièr dell’Aube almeno 12 mesi sui lieviti. Colore giallo dorato e perlage fine e molto lungo. Aromi fruttati al naso. Molto dritto ma non duro. Complesso e molto persistente.
  Degustato a Meursault in Borgogna a pranzo come primo vino presso Le Soufflot de Meursault durante il viaggio verso la Champagne

  Opened in Hong Kong with friends and enjoyed as the first bottle over dinner. Allowed to breathe for 30 minutes before starting.
  
  This was really lovely - toasty, nutty, creamy with a variety of fruit coming through. Plenty of layers to peel back and evolved in the mouth very nicely. My only nitpick would be the precision, as I would have preferred a bit more acidity to drive everything home. That being said, this is a wonderful champagne and I would very happily have it again!
  
  Will keep at this level and definitely improve with a bit of time. Let's see how it performs in 5+ years.

  Somewhat surprised to be the first note, but onward… This was opened in a group tasting, non-blind, enjoyed in a Zalto universal. The wine has some red and blue fruit, a noticeable step up and quality in my opinion from the 18 and yet it does have a hint of oatmeal, bordering on mousiness but not quite there. A little bit of a natural feel at least. Overall, I think the hype is justified for Prévost, these wines are so singular intense on the pallet, interesting and delicious. I would rather have Les Beguines but always happy to find it in my glass.
