Depth, rarity, and expanded vineyard expression define this compelling release from Jérôme Prévost and Agnès Prévost. La Closerie Grand Cru LC23 Extra Brut NV represents a broader interpretation of the house style, incorporating Grand Cru fruit alongside the domaine’s core holdings to explore added dimension and structure. While rooted in the philosophy established in Gueux, this cuvée extends beyond a single parcel, offering a more expansive view of terroir within Champagne. Produced in extremely limited quantities, it reflects the same meticulous attention to detail and low-intervention approach that defines La Closerie.
In the glass, the wine reveals a broader and more layered profile, balancing richness with clarity and precision. Fermentation and ageing in oak barrels contribute subtle texture and complexity, while extended lees ageing builds depth and integration. The low dosage allows the interplay of fruit, acidity, and mineral structure to remain transparent and finely tuned. There is a vinous quality here, with weight and presence on the palate, yet always guided by freshness and control. As it opens, the wine unfolds gradually, revealing savoury nuances and a quiet intensity that speaks to both origin and élevage. This is a Champagne suited to the table, pairing effortlessly with dishes such as shellfish, poultry, or refined vegetable preparations, while also rewarding slow appreciation on its own.
