Producer Information

Champagne La Closerie is a tiny grower founded in 1998 by Jrme Prvost which has gained something of a cult following for its Pinot Meunier-based Champagnes. These are sometimes listed under the winemaker’s name. Prvost took over his grandmother’s Ls Beguines vineyard with 2.2 hectares (5.4 acres) of Massale selection (Pinot) Meunier, located in the village of Gueux in the Montagne de Reims. A few vines of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay are dotted around the property, and make up around 5 percent of final blends. Previously, the vines had been rented out until 1987, when Jrme began to manage them, selling grapes directly to ngociants. In the mid 1990s he also began working at Jacques Selosse, and Anselme Selosse encouraged him to make wine from his own vines, beginning in 1998. As Prvost had nowinemaking facilities, the wines were made at the Selosse cellars in Avizes until 2001. For the 2002 harvest he moved production to Gueux, initally in a garage behind his home. In 2018 he moved into a modern minimalist home and winery at the edge of Les Bguines.
