Champagne House Frerejean Frères Premier Cru Brut
Wine of the month
The founding trio of the Maison, consisting of the brothers Guillaume, Richard and Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger, initially began producing champagne intended for family and close friends. The unparalleled quality of their creations quickly spread and won the hearts of discerning connoisseurs. Today, the Champagne House has the honor of being the exclusive official champagne supplier for the awarding of the coveted Michelin stars.
The Frerejean-Taittinger brothers grew up with love and respect for the tradition of Champagne. Rodolphe was baptized with champagne at the tender age of one, and at eight he enjoyed his first sip of this enchanting drink. The taste, the energy, the pure magic of champagne captivated him from the start. Under the guidance of his brothers and under the mentorship of the renowned Chef de Caves Didier Pierson - fifth generation winemaker from Avize - Rodolphe set out on a journey of discovery, exploring the diverse terroirs that make up Champagne. The journey began with the brothers making champagne exclusively for their family and friends, but the quality of their exceptional wines quickly spread and led them into the world of business in 2005. Their main motivation was to create complex and elegant champagnes with a clear link to the terroir. At Frerejean Frères, champagnes are aged on the lees for a minimum of five to eight years before being disgorged. Here, quality comes before quantity, so the brothers allocate their champagne strictly to selected wine merchants.
Their boutique winery is located in Avize, a Grand Cru village in the heart of Champagne. The Maison's vineyards, all Premier and Grand Cru, are managed in an ecologically sustainable manner and each grape is hand-harvested at full ripeness. This dedication ensures that each bottle of Frerejean-Frères Champagne offers a complex bouquet of aromas, from delicate floral notes to rich, layered profiles with a complex, elegant character.
