Guide to icons

Pale yellow colour with slightly greenish hue. Delightful nose reminiscent of lemon zest, green figs, greengage, Nashi pear, starfruit and a discreet hint of iodine marine air. On the palate well structured with crisp acidity, lively and fine mousseux, exquisite fruit flavour on the restrained side, distinct minerality. An excellent wine with depth and salivary character.

Each cuvée from Maison Frerejean Frères tells a unique story, shaped by the dual heritage that Guillaume and Rodolphe Frerejean Taittinger passionately carry forward.

From their mother, descended from the prestigious Taittinger lineage, they inherited the craft of winemaking and a deep connection to the Champagne terroir. From their father, a native of Burgundy, they gained the boldness and entrepreneurial spirit of a renowned family of blacksmiths, the Frerejean brothers.

At the crossroads of these two legacies, Guillaume and Rodolphe represent a new generation of winemakers, proud to honour their family heritage. Each cuvée thus becomes the expression of an unwavering pursuit of excellence, driven by their desire to pass on a unique savoir-faire and shape the future of Maison Frerejean Frères.

In 2024, the house reaffirmed its deep connection and strong bond with gastronomy by becoming the official partner of Grandes Tables du Monde, an iconic institution that brings together 2- and 3-star restaurants worldwide.
