Jérôme Prévost’s La Closerie is one of Champagne’s most singular grower estates, built around a belief in the extraordinary potential of Pinot Meunier. Based in Gueux, just west of Reims, Prévost established the domaine in 1998 after formative years working alongside Anselme Selosse, developing a philosophy centred on vineyard expression, old vines and minimal intervention. His wines challenge the traditional perception of Meunier as a simple blending grape, revealing a variety capable of remarkable depth, texture and longevity. Working organically across the sandy soils of Gueux, with horse ploughing and careful attention to vineyard balance, Prévost’s wines express a rare combination of generosity, energy and individuality.
Les Béguines is Jérôme Prévost’s signature cuvée, sourced from his 2.2 hectare vineyard in Gueux, planted primarily with old vine Pinot Meunier on Thanetian calcareous sands over clay. While traditionally centred around Meunier, the LB22 release also includes small amounts of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc from neighbouring parcels. The wine is vinified without additions, with fermentation and ageing carried out in large format used barrels for around 10 months before bottling unfiltered. After 18 months on lees, the wine was disgorged with a dosage of 2.5g/L. Richly expressive yet finely balanced, it shows ripe pear, citrus peel and orchard fruit alongside dried flowers, spice, toasted nuts and subtle chalky minerality. The palate is textured and generous, with Meunier’s characteristic roundness balanced by vibrant acidity, savoury complexity and a long, elegant finish.
