Pairing Aperitifs, seafood, light dishes
This Premier Cru Champagne from Frerejean Freres presents a dry, nervy character, marked by fine bubbles and a vibrant perlage. On the nose there are hints of green apple, ripe citrus and white flowers, accompanied by delicate notes of yeast and toasted bread that add depth without weighing it down; the overall impression remains taut and precise, with a sapidity that invites the next sip. The body is medium-bodied, well balanced between freshness and structure.

On the palate it confirms the linearity suggested on the nose: the sip is lean, bright in acidity and supported by a saline texture that prolongs its persistence. The low dosage typical of Extra Brut enhances the wine's purity and aromatic clarity, making it ideal both for an elegant aperitif and to accompany seafood, sushi and light fish dishes; also try pairings with carpaccios and fresh cheeses. Serve chilled, around 8-10°C, to best appreciate the tension and finesse of the bubbles.

Winery history
Fondata nel 2005 dai fratelli Guillaume, Richard e Rodolphe Frerejean Taittinger, la maison nasce ad Avize nel cuore della Côte des Blancs. Il progetto unisce l’eredità materna legata alla famiglia Taittinger e le radici paterne, con una forte attenzione al tempo di affinamento: la prima Cuvée des Hussards (annata 2005) è stata pubblicata nel 2011. Nel corso degli anni la produzione è cresciuta, raggiungendo una soglia di 100.000 bottiglie nel 2019, e la maison ha consolidato legami con il mondo della grande ristorazione e delle istituzioni gastronomiche.
Production philosophy
Lavoro artigianale sui cru dell’Avize e della Côte des Blancs, con selezione attenta delle uve, lunghi periodi di affinamento sui lieviti e dosaggi calibrati per ottenere cuvée pensate per la gastronomia. L’obiettivo dichiarato è lasciare che il tempo esalti la purezza del territorio e la finezza del frutto.
Terroir and vineyards
Basata ad Avize (Côte des Blancs), la maison utilizza vigneti Grand Cru e Premier Cru provenienti da solide parcelle della Costa dei Bianchi (es. Cramant, Chouilly, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ).
