Having inherited a tiny 2.2-hectare plot of vines from his grandmother in the obscure village of Gueux, Jérôme initially didn’t have a cellar of his own. Enter his close friend and mentor, \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"370\"\u003eAnselme Selosse\u003c\/b\u003e (the legendary godfather of low-intervention Champagne), who generously offered Jérôme a corner of his own cellar in Avize to craft his first vintages. By 2018, Jérôme finally built his own beautifully minimalist, eco-friendly cellar right next to his historic vineyard, \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"657\"\u003eLes Béguines\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eUnlike the rest of Champagne, which sits on stark white chalk, the terroir of Gueux is composed of unique, 50-million-year-old marine sands and Thanetian limestone clay. This specific soil is absolute magic for the often-underappreciated Pinot Meunier grape. Jérôme treats his vineyard like a pristine garden—completely chemical-free, plowed by hand, and harvested at maximum ripeness. In recent years, to combat devastating losses from frost and hail, he introduced the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"471\"\u003e\"\u0026amp;\" (Ampersand)\u003c\/b\u003e bottling under the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"506\"\u003eLa Closerie\u003c\/b\u003e label. This genius cuvée seamlessly marries fruit from his own beloved estate with grapes meticulously sourced from neighboring parcels in Gueux that he helps farm. True to his anti-bureaucratic spirit, Jérôme skips traditional vintage dating on the front label, opting instead for a discreet lot number on the back (like \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"840\"\u003eLC21\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"848\"\u003eLC22\u003c\/i\u003e) to denote the base harvest year.

In the glass, it pours a deep, shimmering straw-gold color with a faint, regal amber-pink hue from the Meunier skins and a remarkably fine, quiet bead of bubbles. The nose is spectacularly expressive and evolving, greeting you with a fragrant symphony of baked red apples, bruised pears, and orange rind, intricately interwoven with complex top notes of toasted hazelnuts, puff pastry, white truffles, and a faint whisper of exotic spice. On the palate, it hits with a medium-to-full body that feels satisfyingly dense, broad, and texturally rich, courtesy of its time in wood. Its deep, savory fruit core is effortlessly pulled into alignment by a laser beam of cool-climate acidity, before sailing into an exceptionally long, dry, and mouthwatering finish marked by a distinct, saline-mineral and smoky sand grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vineyard Road","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50683532968001,"sku":"igq1792017174953","price":169.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/4236\/2433\/files\/jerome-prevost-la-closerie-la-closerie-nv_1.png?v=1792017180","url":"https:\/\/overdoorhangfit.shop\/products\/jerome-prevost-la-closerie-la-closerie-nv","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
