Champagne La Closerie Grand Cru NV Jérôme & Agnès Prévost LC 19, Disg. Oct 2021

La Closerie is Jérôme Prévost's tiny estate at Gueux, and the wine is one of the few serious Champagnes built almost entirely on Meunier.

Prévost farms a little over two hectares at Les Béguines, on the western side of the Montagne de Reims, where the topsoil is sand over chalk rather than the pure chalk of the grand cru villages. He began making his own wine in the mid-1990s with help from Anselme Selosse, and works on a scale that produces only a few thousand bottles a year. The parcel is dominated by Meunier, with a small proportion of other varieties among the vines, and the fruit is pressed and fermented in barrel with natural yeasts, without malolactic blocking or heavy intervention. Each release is based on a single harvest, identified by the code on the label, and dosage is kept minimal or omitted altogether. This bottling carries the LC 19 code and was disgorged in October 2021.

Best drunk over the next few years while its texture is at its most expressive; serve at about 8°C with roast chicken, mushroom dishes or charcuterie.
