That's the size of grin that spread over Jess' face when she unpacked these bottles from their box. While this is a hot take, I [Jess] find that Champagne over $100 just doesn't tend to impress me more than Champagne at $80... except Jérôme's. He is part of a small but powerful coalition of tiny producers making intense, terroir-transparent Champagnes. Rather than follow the traditional Champagne model of blending grapes, vintages, and vineyards to produce a \"standardized\" product, Jérôme and his fellow \"Champagne Renegades\" produce terroir-specific bottlings primarily dedicated to one grape and one vintage. Jérôme is always tinkering and experimenting, and the Grand Cru is his occasional experimental cuvee. Definitely more personality, often zero sulfur - this is Champs for the natty wine lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e We love it with… fresh baked baguette, good butter, and good friends\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eType: Sparkling\u003cbr\u003e Vintage: 2023\u003cbr\u003e Size: 750mL\u003cbr\u003e ABV: 12.5%\u003cbr\u003e Grape: 100% Pinot Meunier\u003cbr\u003e Region: Gueux, Montagne de Reims, Champagne, France\u003cbr\u003e Vinification: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jérôme Prévost","offers":[{"title":"2023","offer_id":50559007195440,"sku":"12545","price":215.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.walters-wine.com\/products\/champagne-la-closerie-les-beguines-extra-brut","provider":"Walter's Wine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
