FEATURES
🏰 Jérôme Prévost's La Closerie has achieved cult status among grower Champagnes, renowned for its precise, site-specific, and often single-variety wines. Prévost is a key figure in Champagne's new guard, championing biodynamic practices and minimal intervention. His wines are fermented in neutral oak barrels and undergo extended aging on lees (typically less than three years before release, hence the non-vintage designation), with minimal sulfur, resulting in pure, ethereal, and thought-provoking expressions. Production is extremely limited, with only 800-850 cases per year. While the specific 'Grand Cru Extra Brut' cuvée may vary in blend, some iterations feature Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Grand Cru villages. Expect a complex and expressive bouquet with notes of apple, peach, ginger, marzipan, brioche, and a subtle oxidative touch, leading to a round, intense, and energetic palate with pronounced acidity and minerality. Other common descriptors include fresh zesty citrus, elegant toasty and spicy aromas, baked apples, mango, and fine herbs.
🍴 This Extra Brut Champagne is a superb match for rich or salty dishes. Consider pairing it with foie gras, oysters, caviar, sushi, or charcuterie boards, as its sharp acidity beautifully cuts through richness and complements delicate flavours.
🥂 An ideal choice for connoisseurs and collectors, perfect for a special aperitif, a sophisticated seafood dinner, or as a unique gift that showcases the pinnacle of grower Champagne. 【Cult status grower Champagne, biodynamic, minimal intervention, extremely limited production】
