Description

After a few years of absence, Fac-Similé Rosé is back—one of the rarest and most cult-worthy wines in Prévost’s lineup. First made in 2007, this is essentially La Closerie Les Béguines (base 2022 with 20% reserve wine) with the addition of 10% Meunier red, sourced from a tiny, low-yielding section of the vineyard where fanleaf virus naturally limits vigour, producing tiny, intensely concentrated berries.

Vinified and aged exactly like La Closerie, the addition of Meunier red wine gives it a deeper dimension—vibrant red fruit, citrus zest, and floral lift, all carried by Prévost’s signature chalky grip and precise tension. With just 2.5 g/L dosage, it walks the line between power and finesse, finishing long, perfumed, and impossibly moreish.

Cult wines don’t always live up to the hype—this one does. Pour it into a Burgundy glass alongside charcuterie, roast duck, or a salmon dish, and let it steal the show.

This rare rosé was made for the first time from the 2007 vintage. It is effectively the wine above (base 2022 with 20% reserve wines) with the addition of 10% Meunier red. It is always a brilliant wine. Prévost now aims to make it every year using the fruit of the same vineyard. The grapes for the red come from a small parcel of Les Béguines that is prone to court-noué (fanleaf virus). This virus stunts vigour and gives tiny yields of concentrated bunches and berries that ripen quickly.

Cult wines don’t always live up to the hype, but this bottle surpasses even the highest expectations—we just wish we had more to share around. The dosage this year was 2.5 g/L. As always, it’s big on personality with a bright, red-fruited persona, driven, chalky grip and a long, perfumed close. Serve it in Burgundy glasses with food (any salmon dish is a great idea) with your closest wine friends—then watch the sparks fly.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
