Frerejean Frères Champagne

Founded in 2005 in the heartof Avize, one of the most prestigious grands crus of the Côte des Blancs, Frerejean Frères was born out of the partnership between the brothers Guillaume, Richard and Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger and Didier Pierson, heir to a line of winegrowers deeply rooted in this exceptional chalk terroir. Behind this venture lies an even older family history: ancestors who were artillerymen supplying the French army during the Napoleonic era, lending the name Frerejean a unique historical resonance. Working exclusively with Premier Cru and Grand Cru plots, the house crafts its champagnes with a rare artisanal rigour: ageing for six to twelve years on slats, extra-brut dosages often below 6 g/l, and ageing in oak barrels to give structure to the blends. The result: champagnes of mineral precision and slender elegance, served in Michelin-starred restaurants and selected by Air France.

Frerejean Frères Champagne — Hussards Immergée

The Frerejean Frères vintages — from Premier Cru to Grand Cru

The Frerejean Frères range extends from Brut Premier Cru to Grande Réserve (aperitif, oysters) and on to cuvées with real character: the Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru, made from 100 per cent Chardonnay from Avize, which is mineral and crisp (sole meunière, langoustines), the VV26 Grand Cru from old vines (lobster, poultry with truffles), and the Rosé Blossom (salmon tartare, wild strawberries). The Cuvée des Hussards and the Secret d’Irène, prestigious vintages, come into their own with foie gras or mature cheeses.

Frerejean Frères champagnes are best served between 8 and 10 °C in a tulip-shaped glass. Their long ageing periods and low dosages give them excellent ageing potential: five to ten years for the cuvées in the range, and even longer for the vintages and the Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Magnum, designed to age for a decade.

Frerejean Frères — Avize 2005: heritage and a passion for Champagne

In 2005, Guillaume, Richard and Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger joined forces with Didier Pierson, heir to a family with long-standing roots in the Côte des Blancs, to establish their house in Avize. Classified as a Grand Cru commune, Avize offers a terroir of pure chalk that lends the Chardonnay its characteristic minerality and tension. The name Frerejean carries deep historical significance: the family’s ancestors were gunmakers, suppliers to Napoleon’s army — a military heritage dedicated to the pursuit of precision.

Frerejean Frères’ philosophy is based on producing exclusively Premier and Grand Cru wines and on one of the region’s longest ageing processes: six to twelve years on racks, with periods in oak barrels to refine the structure. The dosages are deliberately kept at extra-brut levels, often below 6 g/l, to allow the Avize terroir to express itself without artifice.
