Product Description: The La Closerie Grand Cru LC22 NV from Jérôme & Agnès Prévost is an extraordinary, limited-edition Champagne that exemplifies the pinnacle of craftsmanship and terroir. A rare and highly sought-after cuvée, La Closerie Grand Cru is an exciting addition to the Prévost portfolio. First introduced in 2019, this cuvée has evolved significantly, particularly with the 2021 vintage, where it included fruit from the family’s own Grand Cru plots in Le Mesnil. The vines in these ancient plots, planted in the 1960s, thrive on Lutetian limestone, offering a distinct mineral profile that is reflected in the wine’s complexity and depth. The blend is a delicate harmony of Chardonnay from Le Mesnil and Pinot Noir from Puisieulx, meticulously farmed to ensure full ripeness and the highest quality. The vineyards, tended to with exceptional care, are cultivated with a commitment to low yields and optimal balance, a testament to Prévost’s dedication to excellence in every vintage. The result is a Champagne that is both hedonistic and precise—creamy, rich, and opulent, with layers of stone fruit, roasted nuts, and citrus oil, wrapped in a silky, mineral-driven structure that defines its long, seductive finish. A rare and compelling release, this Champagne offers the ultimate indulgence for connoisseurs and collectors alike. Maker | Jerome Prévost: Jérôme Prévost is a winemaker whose artistry and philosophy revolve around purity, patience, and a deep connection to his terroir. Based in the picturesque village of Gueux, on the edge of the Montagne de Reims, Prévost is a micro grower-producer known for his commitment to crafting exceptional wines from his two-hectare plot of 40-year-old Meunier vines. His journey into winemaking began in 1998 when his close friend, Anselme Selosse, encouraged him to start making wine, offering him the use of his winery until 2003. Since then, Prévost has continued to refine his winemaking techniques, initially producing his wines in the garage behind his home. Prévost’s philosophy is rooted in minimal intervention and a profound respect for the natural expression of the land. His wines are a reflection of his belief that the terroir should shine through in every bottle, with no excess manipulation. He focuses on producing a single wine each year from his estate and the Meunier grape variety, allowing the wines to evolve and develop their complexity over time. His approach to winemaking has earned him a cult following, and his wines are revered for their complexity, energy, and longevity. By limiting his production and focusing on the intrinsic character of his vineyards, Prévost offers a rare and authentic expression of Champagne, capturing the essence of his unique terroir. Vineyard | Jerome Prevost La Closerie: The La Closerie vineyard, located in Gueux, is the heart of Jérôme Prévost’s winemaking. This vineyard is planted with old, low-yielding Meunier vines, grown on clay and chalk-rich soils that give the wines their characteristic minerality and texture. Initially, Prévost focused solely on his estate fruit, but after the frost damage in 2017, he expanded his sources, purchasing fruit from neighboring plots in Gueux. Despite this, the terroir remains consistent, with all the vineyards being farmed organically and following Prévost’s strict winemaking philosophy. The soil composition, along with the pre-industrial planting techniques, ensures that the vines have deep root systems that produce concentrated, flavourful fruit. Prévost’s careful vineyard management practices include organic farming methods and a focus on sustainability, allowing the vineyards to thrive and evolve naturally. The La Closerie vineyard embodies the essence of Prévost’s winemaking philosophy, where the balance between nature and craftsmanship results in wines with exceptional character and complexity. Tasting Notes: Nose Complex & Inviting A beautiful complexity, with aromas of creamy stone fruit such as ripe peaches and apricots, entwined with roasted nuts, citrus oil, and delicate hints of toasted brioche. Subtle minerality hints at the ancient Lutetian limestone soils, adding depth and sophistication. Palate Opulent & Silky Rrich and full-bodied, layering flavours of stone fruit, roasted hazelnuts, and a touch of citrus zest. Balanced, elegant, and incredibly smooth, with a vibrant acidity that lifts the richness and carries the flavours seamlessly. Finish Mineral & Long Long, delicate, and mineral-driven, with a soft but persistent citrus and nutty aftertaste that lingers. The combination of ripe fruit, creamy texture, and mineral backbone leaves a lasting impression of refinement and balance.

At the House of Krug, every vintage is crafted to celebrate the distinctive character of a particular year. Krug 2011 is so opulent yet crisp, the House’s Tasting Committee nicknamed this Champagne “Spirited Roundness”. For Krug, the year 2011 gave birth to a surprising Champagne allying finesse and power with a spontaneous, vibrant side born from this fiery year. Krug 2011 is ample, generous, and assertive. To tell the story of 2011, a selection of Pinot Noir plots’ wines constitutes almost half (46%) of the blend, imparting beautiful structure and magnificent balance, while Chardonnay plots’ wines (37%), most affected by the heat spikes, imbue ripe and juicy fruit aromas, and Meuniers (17%) add a wonderful freshness with elegant bitters. The striking profile of Krug 2011 comes after 12 years in the cellars, gaining in expression, harmony, and finesse. As all Krug Champagnes, Krug 2011 will continue to gain with the passage of time.
