Champagne Jerome Prevost - La Closerie GrandCru Extra Brut
Jérôme Prévost’s La Closerie Grand Cru Extra Brut is a quintessential micro‑grower Champagne that showcases both precision and personality:
Estate & Blend
Crafted from parcels in two Grand Cru villages—50 % Chardonnay from Mesnil‑sur‑Oger and 50 % Pinot Noir from Puisieulx—La Closerie reflects the village terroirs with crystalline minerality and fine structure. GLUGULP!Vinification
Following the méthode champenoise in small, temperature‑controlled stainless‑steel vats, it undergoes extended aging on lees (over 30 months) before disgorgement with an ultra‑low dosage. The result is an Extra Brut (usually under 4 g/L) expression that balances vibrant freshness with creamy depth.Tasting Profile
In the glass, it shows a delicate straw‑copper hue. On the nose, think pear, fresh‑baked brioche, wheat toast, smoke and orange oil, followed by notes of strawberry, orange sherbet, shortbread, white flowers and toasted almond. The palate is medium‑full, ample yet saline, with bright acidity, pure orchard and citrus fruit and a long, mineral‑driven finish.Food Pairing & Service
Serve chilled (8–10 °C) as an elegant aperitif or alongside seafood—think oysters, scallops, sashimi—or creamy poultry dishes. Its taut acidity and fine bubbles also make it a superb counterpoint to rich cheeses like Reblochon or aged Comté.
