The 2022 base explodes with sappy, juicy fruit and a long, spicy finish, presenting a seductive Champagne that is approachable from the outset yet still capable of aging gracefully. 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, flavorful 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 Vibrant & Aromatic Explosive, with a vibrant bouquet of ripe fruits, including juicy pear and yellow apple, coupled with subtle hints of crushed chalk and a light spiciness, reminiscent of hops. PALATE Fleshy & Juicy Full of sappy, juicy fruit, with a creamy texture and delightful richness. The Meunier expresses itself through a mouthwatering balance of ripe orchard fruit and a faint nutty note, layered with a minerally backbone and a gentle touch of spice that enhances its depth. FINISH Long & Spicy Long and lingering, with the spicy elements evolving into a subtle, chalky note. Minerality and crisp acidity provide a refreshing lift, while the spice lingers on the palate.
