Champagne Frerejean Frères Brut Grande Reserve

Champagne Frerejean Frères, founded by the Frerejean-Taittinger brothers, only makes Champagne from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in Grauves, Côte des Blancs. They are very finesse-rich wines with a special complexity. These very elegant and fresh Champagnes are produced with little dosage (only 6.5 grams per liter). They obtain their roundness and complexity by maturing on the lees for at least 3.5 to 7 years. Demand for special cuvées such as Cuvée des Hussards, Cuvée Solaire and VV26 now exceeds supply, which is why Frerejean Frères has had to decide to allocate.

The Champagne Frerejean Frères Brut Grande Réserve is a new addition to the Frerejean Freres range and is a wine with great price/quality. Of course, this wine also comes from the Côte des Blancs from the Appellation: AC Champagne. The grapes come from Premier and Grand Cru Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs. The winemaker Didier Pierson has chosen a typical champagne blend: 50% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier. The wine matures for +/- 3.5 years on lees. After Dégorgement, it matured for more than 6 months in our own cellars. So this is truly a Grande Reserve. The Frerejean Frères Brut Grande Réserve is elegant, tight-dry, minerally with a fresh, pure nose of white flowers and dried fruit, followed by notes of freshly baked pastries. In the mouth the wine is rich and generous, round with fine structure. Fresh mango and wine peach with floral finale. Delicious with “Fruits de mer”, such as oysters, shrimps and lobster; but also with charcuterie or simply as an aperitif of course!
