  Impressive showing from a Les Beguines with some age. I had LC12 in the fall, which was previously my oldest experience with how these no dosed PM masterpieces age. One of my two bottles was faulty but the other was absolutely on fire. This was more like the second, sound, with balanced development, apple, showing some cinnamon stick. Good mousse remains, with ample concentration on the palate. I think the moral is that these are holding up just fine so far. A rare bird.

  LC10. Decent enough. Moderately rich nose with oxidative notes and lemon on the palate. Didn't pick up much weight with air and came across a bit too thin for my liking. I've always preferred younger Beguines (always has more stuffing and energy) and this confirms it. Drank like a Champagne worth its original release price.

  ohhh in that sweet spot right now. Dry bright acidity, rich textured apple fruit and mouthcoating minerality. All balanced together in a powerful concentrated push

  I liked the nose on this a lot - brown apples, gravel, broken cookies, hints of yellow fruit. But the palate didn't have the focus and concentration that I usually get from Les Beguines, although it was still a very good wine in its own right - maybe a little too dry. Maybe the vintage at work?

  i know 2010 was not a great vintage for champagne; but j prevost hit it out of the park as far i'm concerned. terrific balance between fruit and acidity. almost painfully dry... in the way i like it... certainly one of the top producers for 100% pinot meunier champagne.
