Anselme Selosse's incredible disciple
La Closerie is Jérôme Prévost's brainchild, who is a disciple of the famous Champagne artisan Anselme Selosse. In the late 1990's, Jérôme was training with the master, making his first 1999 vintage wine. Later, he decided to carve his own path, although he still worked with Anselme from time to time. Jérôme settled in Gueux (a village somewhere in the Montagne de Reims terroir) and started to cultivate two hectares of vineyard that he inherited from his grandmother. This specific parcel was known as "Les Béguines". Jérôme Prévost only uses one type of grape for his wines: the often neglected Pinot Meunier variety.
Jérôme Prévost is what you would call the perfect example of a confidential winemaker. His cuvées have become very hard to find on the market, especially since his vineyard is really tiny and can only produce a few thousands of bottles per year (somewhere around 5,000 and 6,000). La Closerie offers wines that are the purest expression of their terroir. They contain very little sugar and are astoundingly rich in fruits.
