Based in the village of Gueux in the Petite Montagne de Reims, Prévost founded his estate, La Closerie, in 1998 after inheriting the two-hectare vineyard Les Béguines from his grandmother. The vines, planted in the 1950s to massale selection meunier, sit on a rare band of sandy, fossil-rich topsoil over chalk—a terroir long prized but largely overlooked in modern Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuided early on by Anselme Selosse, Prévost has always worked outside convention. His wines are fermented with native yeasts in used barrique and demi-muid, bottled with no dosage, and aged for just 16 months under cork, short by Champagne standards, but intentional. Prévost believes the most compelling evolution happens in bottle. Farming is organic, yields are exceptionally low, and the approach in both vineyard and cellar is built on transparency, precision, and trust in the raw material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"\u0026amp;\" cuvée — sometimes called Esperluette — emerged from necessity. Faced with the climate-driven yield losses of recent years (hail, frost, storms), Prévost began working with a small group of like-minded vignerons in the villages of Gueux and Janvry, applying the same exacting hand to their fruit that he gives Les Béguines. The grapes come from sandy soils not unlike his own, with Prévost controlling harvest timing and sorting himself, and a small percentage of Les Béguines woven in as what he calls a bridge to the next cuvée.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2026 release is built primarily on the 2023 vintage, with reserve wine adding depth. Vinified with native yeasts in used barrique and demi-muid, and bottled with no dosage. Expect peach, red apple, toasted nuts, and the brisk, mouth-watering acidity so emblematic of this vintage, all carried by Prévost's signature texture and tension.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yes Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51619768533288,"sku":"ATNVPREVOSTAND26750","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/1794\/6152\/files\/NVJeromePrevost_LaCloserie_3f549fc3-649c-4fd3-a20d-0534334d5dd8.jpg?v=1775587697","url":"https:\/\/yes-society.com\/products\/nv-jerome-prevost-la-closerie-champagne-france-2026-release","provider":"Yes Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
