Served as an aperitif, it’s a real treat. Complex aromas and lovely liveliness. The order arrived just in time for the occasion. Quite simply, nothing to complain about.

Aromatic profile
The structure of this champagne
Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The mineral tension of Chardonnay from Cramant sustains a crystalline vivacity through to the finish.
Roundness
Oak barrel ageing and eight years on the lees lend a creamy, silky texture.
Depth
The old vines of 1926 deliver an extraordinary concentration and aromatic complexity.
Length
The persistence is exceptional, carried by a briny salinity and enduring toasty notes.
TASTING NOTES
A golden robe with crystalline green highlights, animated by a fine and persistent effervescence. On the nose, aromas of candied pear, ripe fig, toasted almond and vanilla intertwine with subtle hints of white truffle and gentle spice inherited from oak ageing. On the palate, the texture is creamy with great mineral tension, leading to a saline, iodine-tinged finish of remarkable length.

The composition
Discover this wine's DNA
6g/LDosage
100%Chardonnay
Terroirs
100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru parcels in Cramant, the emblematic chalky terroir of the Côte des Blancs, complemented by selections from Avize and Oger. The century-old vines planted in 1926 impart a concentration and aromatic depth that only old vines can achieve.
About this house
Founded in 2005 by brothers Guillaume, Richard and Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger — heirs to the Taittinger lineage — Frerejean Frères embodies a prestigious, intimate craft established at the heart of the Grand Cru of Avize, a jewel of the Côte des Blancs.
The house rests on three pillars: an exclusive selection of Premier and Grand Cru parcels, oak barrel ageing followed by extended lees ageing (5 to 12 years), and deliberately low dosages that allow the purity of the Champagne terroir to speak without artifice.

The perfect pairing
Between the champagne and its dish
