Frerejean Frères, Cuvée des Hussards, Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Brut 2012
Frerejean Frères was founded by brothers Guillaume, Richard, and Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger, who began by making Champagne just for friends and family. By 2005, demand had grown—and so did the business. They combine traditional Champagne methods with a modern mindset, keeping production small and focused while now exporting to select outlets around the world. Their Cuvée des Hussards, named after Napoleon’s light cavalry (famous for sabrage), is bold and expressive. Made from old-vine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown on chalky soils, it’s a Champagne with real depth, elegance, and mineral finesse.
Frerejean Frères, VV26 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut NV
Frerejean Frères brings precision and elegance to their VV26 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs, a pure Chardonnay expression from the chalk slopes of Champagne's most prestigious villages. This is Champagne that speaks of place rather than producer ego - all citrus tension and mineral backbone, with the kind of fine mousse that makes you pause mid-conversation. Based on 2012 with 2008 and 2009 as reserve wines, this is a gastronomic tour de force, with breadth, depth and terrific length, complexity and harmony, and capacity for longer-term cellaring (though it is GORGEOUS right now).
