The village is known for the Reims-Gueux circuit, venue for Formula 1 Grands Prix and the 12 Hours of Reims, of which the grandstands remain, a historic monument since 2009; the 19th-century church, which replaced a Romanesque church, was funded by Madame Roederer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are few vineyards: 19.6 ha (UMC) for 9 winegrowers, with Meunier at 16.6 ha (85%), Pinot Noir at 2.2 ha (11%) and Chardonnay at 0.8 ha (4%).

Produced by Jerome Prevost, a family estate rooted in the heart of Champagne, where vines have been cultivated for generations and an authentic expression of the terroir’s severity has been preserved. The estate’s history is one of patience; the family has passed down practices that combine tradition with a continual curiosity for less invasive methods, focusing on selected parcels and attentive soil management. The estate’s identity is founded on the idea of wines that speak of the terroir before technique: minimal intervention, attention to detail, and respect for slow maturation on the lees. In this setting, La Closerie Fac-simile is born, expressing a winemaking philosophy that favors the balance between acidity and body, between minerality and aromatic gentleness. La Closerie stands out for its careful pressing, focused lees maturation, and minimal dosage, avoiding excessive sweetness while offering a dry yet elegant character. Bright straw color, fine perlage, and a bouquet evoking brioche, citrus, white flowers, saline notes, and flint transform on the palate into a line of sharp yet disciplined freshness, with a silky texture and a savory quality that extends the finish. On the palate, it is slender yet substantial, with freshness supporting pronounced minerality and a lightness that invites another glass. Within the producer’s range, La Closerie serves as a link between a deep sense of place and a contemporary language, offering a reliable foundation for those who enjoy studying the wine’s evolution over time. It is ideal with seafood appetizers, shellfish crudités, and fresh cheeses, or for contemplative moments calling for depth without ostentation, provided it is served well chilled. Thanks to its flavor flexibility, it can evolve with bottle age, developing notes of toasted baguette and bitter almond in the months ahead, becoming a stylistic reference for those who follow the authentic school of Champagne.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jerome Prevost","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56778952278341,"sku":"JERPRE-LACLOFAC-CHA-NV-075","price":513.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/files\/Jerome-Prevost-La-Closerie-Fac-simile-NV-AOC-075l.jpg?v=1788874138"},{"product_id":"jerome-prevost-la-closerie-les-beguines-nv-075","title":"Jerome Prevost La Closerie Les Beguines NV AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eJerome Prevost La Closerie Les Beguines NV AOC Champagne 0,75l is a non-vintage wine born from the meeting of the Montagne de Reims terroir, artisanal tradition, and a work philosophy focused on precision and fruit purity, offering an interpretation of Champagne designed to last at the table and throughout the most understated convivial moments; the producer's history, rooted in a family of winegrowers, tells of a passion for the vineyard as a laboratory: young and old vines, attentive soil management, harvesting respectful of natural ripeness, and an approach that favors integration over immediate showmanship; the estate's identity stands out for meticulous care of its parcels, work that regards the territory as a source of balance and personality, and a stylistic definition that prioritizes purity, mineral richness, and consistency between nose and palate; production philosophy and approach to work come together in practices that favor minimal intervention, a slow bottle fermentation, and moderate dosage intended to enhance acidity and fruity tension rather than inflate the aromatic profile; the distinctive elements of this label emerge from the harmony between body and finesse: fine, continuous perlage, a freshness reminiscent of the terroir's limestone, notes of citrus, toasted almond, and a subtle suggestion of bread crust that do not overpower but support the minerality; within the Jerome Prevost range, La Closerie Les Beguines serves as an indicator of authenticity and a sense of place, pursued consistently to offer a wine capable of accompanying appetizers, delicate fish, or dishes with restrained flavors without ever weighing down the table.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jerome Prevost","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56778952311109,"sku":"JERPRE-LACLOLES-CHA-NV-075","price":293.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/files\/Jerome-Prevost-La-Closerie-Les-Beguines-NV-AOC-075l.jpg?v=1788874140"}],"url":"https:\/\/steltwines.com\/en\/collections\/gueux.oembed","provider":"STELT - Vini Pregiati \u0026 Champagne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
