Jérôme Prévost La Closerie “&” Extra Brut NV LC21
Jérôme Prévost La Closerie “&” Extra Brut NV LC21
A new bottle from Prévost, the NV Extra Brut & (LC19) is a blend that marries 20% Les Béguines with the balance deriving from other sites in Gueux that share the same sandy soils. It's based on the 2019 vintage, with some 20% reserve wines from 2018. The label is easy to distinguish thanks to the large red ampersand. Offering up aromas of pear, red apple, walnuts, fresh bread and mandarin, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and vinous, with a fleshy core of fruit and a saline finish. While it's produced from purchased grapes, Prévost farms some of the sites and determines the date of harvest and sorting, though he told me that the average yield is naturally a touch higher than in his own vineyards. - William Kelley
