Other Reviews....
Denser and more compact than its 2019 counterpart, the NV Extra Brut Les Béguines LC 20 reveals inviting aromas of pear, confit citrus, mirabelle plum and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated palate that's vinous and sapid, built around chalky structure and concluding with a penetrating finish. While it can be approached now, a few years' patience will pay dividends. Drink 2023-2040.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Dec 15, 2023)

The NV Extra Brut Les Beguines is spicy, savory and full of Meunier character. All it needs is time to soften and fully come together, as it has just been disgorged. Today, it is the raw energy that impresses most. Dried pear, ginger, spice, dried herbs, anise and chamomile open gradually. Time in the glass fills out the mid-palate and finish nicely, giving a good idea of what is to come. This looks to be a medium-bodied, distinctly savory, vintage for Les Beguines. This release is based on 2020, with 20% reserve wines from 2019. Dosage is 2.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: October, 2022. Drink 2024-2032.
