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.
Moët & Chandon, Grand Vintage Mixed case, , 2002, 1992 2012
These cases were released by Moët in 2021 hence are in perfect condition, still lying under bond with us and containing 1 bottle of each of the 2012, 2002 and 1992 vintages. They are three of the very finest Champagne vintages of their respective decades with the extra benefit of a two years’ further bottle age in our bonded warehouse. To buy these separately would set you back just shy of £400 by the time the bottles reach the table, whereas we can offer you these cases at under £320 duty and VAT paid– and that is with the impeccable provenance too. Each offers a different experience in terms of maturity and a fantastic way to try the ‘same’ wine side by side from three different eras. I know when I visited Moët a few years back, we had a similar tasting, and it really was quite remarkable – I’ve got to admit, I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did! Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru This is a wine which had a remarkable ability to age – Decanters huge 97 point score of the 1992 shows just that. It also won Gold in the Decanter Champagne awards that year too after spending no less than 14 years on the lees!
