Jerome Prevost
Jérôme Prévost is a micro grower producer based in the picture- perfect village of Gueux, on the edge of theMountain de Reims or what the locals call la Petite Mountain. Here, in the north west of Champagne, he growsa tiny quantity of remarkable, age worthy Pinot Meunier from a single, two hectare plot of forty year old vines.His wines have garnered a cult following across the globe and are sold strictly on allocation. Sadly demand faroutstrips supply and we get very little wine.
Prévost established his La Closerie estate in 1987, when he inherited a parcel of vines from his grandmother,who had previously been renting out her vineyard rather than cultivating it herself. Prévost began to workthese vines, selling his grapes to the négoce, but in the 1998 vintage, his friend Anselme Selosse convinced himto start producing his own wine. As Prévost had no cellars of his own, Selosse offered to share a corner of hiscellars in Avize: Prévost made all of his wines there until the 2002 vintage, which was vinified in his new cellarsin Gueux but later bottled in Avize. Since 2003 (Prévost began making the wine in the garage at the rear of hishome), all of the production has taken place in Gueux.
