- Champagne Jerome Prevost Current & Past Cellar Masters
Jérôme Prévost is regarded as one of Champagne’s most revered grower-producers and a leading champion of pinot meunier. Based in the village of Gueux, west of Reims, he began his domaine in 1987 after inheriting a small parcel of old-vine meunier known as Les Béguines from his mother — who famously challenged him to prove he could succeed as a winemaker. For the first decade Prévost sold his fruit to the négociants, lacking both a cellar and the means to vinify himself. During this period he formed a close relationship with Anselme Selosse, who encouraged his minimalist philosophy and allowed him to use his cellars in Avize between 1998 and 2003. Those early vintages of Les Béguines quickly established Prévost as one of Champagne’s most compelling new voices.
Today the domaine comprises just 2.2 hectares planted predominantly with massal-selection pinot meunier vines dating from the 1960s, rooted in Thanetian soils of clay, sand and limestone rich with marine fossils. Prévost believes meunier is one of Champagne’s most misunderstood varieties, capable of extraordinary depth and complexity when farmed carefully and harvested fully ripe. Viticulture is meticulous yet understated: light ploughing under vine, natural grass cover, and minimal intervention throughout the growing season. In the cellar, the wines are made with indigenous yeasts and aged for around ten months in a mixture of old and new barrels of varying sizes. The wines are neither filtered nor stabilised, with low dosage and relatively short post-disgorgement ageing preserving their energy and texture. Produced in tiny quantities, Prévost’s Champagnes are intensely vinous, layered and expressive — wines that have helped redefine the possibilities of pinot meunier and cemented his reputation as one of the cult figures of modern Champagne.
First released in 1998, Les Béguines has become one of Champagne’s most emblematic cuvées. Harvest is carried out as late as possible, ensuring optimum ripeness, which is essential to unlock pinot meunier’s full potential. The wine spends a maximum of 18 months 'sur lattes' as Jérôme prefers post-disgorgement ageing – he reckons his champagnes open out fully after around six years in bottle. Generally austere in youth, the 2022 is much more extrovert than usual, a consequence of the hot and dry summer.
Weather: The 2023 Champagne vintage saw an exceptionally large crop following favourable flowering, before wet and humid conditions in August brought increased disease pressure. A warm September helped ripening, although careful selection at harvest was essential. Chardonnay performed particularly well, with the best wines showing generous fruit, freshness and good balance.
Technical Information:
Vineyards: Les Béguines | Gueux (Marne) is a village in the Petite Montagne de Reims
Grape Varieties: 94% Pinot Meunier, 6% Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir & Chardonnay
Lees Ageing: 14-17 Months
Base Vintage: Exclusively all 2023
Disgorged: August 2025
Dosage: 2 g/l
Drink: Now to 2036+
Tasting Note: It opens with an evocative bouquet of pear, orange zest and warming spices mingling with notes of buckwheat and toast. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, textural and concentrated, with a pillowy mousse and lively acidity, concluding with precise, chalky finish. As ever, it will richly reward a few years of cellaring, as bottle age brings out additional complexity. - Tasted by Kristaps Karklins
