Jérôme Prévost La Closerie Extra Brut '&' NV LC23

'When the history of pinot meunier’s rise is finally written, Jérôme Prévost will undoubtedly be its hero. From his La Closerie, his tiny property in Gueux, he has built a reputation for making wines so pure and focused that they have elevated what had been considered a lesser grape, making it an object of cult fascination.' Jon Bonné, The New French Wine

'Working with a variety that's often sneered at, in a village few had heard of and with terroirs that are far removed from the clay-chalk stereotype that dominates discussion of Champagne, Prévost's tiny estate, La Closerie, nonetheless produces some of the region's most sought-after wines. Powerful yet fine-boned and immensely characterful, these wines rank among the greatest in the region when at their best.' Kristaps Karklins, The Wine Advocate

'After a few atypical vintages, the 2023s feel more overtly classical, with a fine elegance and nuanced complexity. Each cuvée—Esperluette, Les Béguines, Fac-simile, and Grand Cru—is expressive in its own way, although they are also uniformly youthful, in need of more time to fulfill their potential. A great lineup.' Peter Liem
