A straw-copper hue, the NV Champagne & Extra Brut is based on the 2020 vintage and is generous and giving out of the gate, opening with juicy aromas of strawberry, orange sherbet, brioche, shortbread, white flowers, and almond. Medium to full-bodied, it floods the palate with pure fruit and salted citrus on the finish.

La Closerie’s NV Extra Brut & (LC22), based predominantly on the 2022 vintage with approximately 20% reserve wine from 2021, is a Gueux-sourced blend produced from purchased fruit. The soils in the parcels informing this cuvée are notably sandier than those of Prévost’s own vineyard in Gueux. The blend also includes fruit from the cooler microclimate of Janvry, along with a small proportion from Les Béguines—“a bridge to the next cuvée,” as Prévost notes. Disgorged in October 2024, the wine unfurls in the glass with aromas of peach, red apple and toasted nuts, though it also exhibits a slightly high-toned edge on the nose with an elevated level of volatile acidity—an element that occasionally surfaces in this comparatively erratic cuvée. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, with ripe yet brisk acidity and good tension.
