Frerejean Frères, Premier Cru Brut NV
Frerejean Frères founders, Guillaume, Richard and Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger, started out making Champagne for friends and family, but word spread, and they went into business in 2005. The brothers take a fresh approach to Champagne, that respects traditional methods, but leaves room for innovation. Their Champagne is now sold in hand-selected outlets the world over, but have stayed true to a small-scale approach. Their signature wine is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir aged for a minimum of five years, producing an elegant Champagne that embodies the richness of the Frerejean Frères terroir. Low dosage and late disgorgement mean that it’s both balanced and generous. "A delightfully fresh nose – apples, almonds and crushed biscuits. The palate has a perfectly-judged mousse and the elegance of the fruit really shines. A great introduction into the art of Frerejean Frères." Dylan, Wine Guru
Tenuta San Leonardo, Riserva Privata Trento DOC 2017
A vintage traditional-method sparkling wine from the San Leonardo estate in Trentino’s Adige Valley. In the glass, it’s all about clarity and cut — bright citrus and crisp green apple up front, with a faint herbal note that gives it real character. Time on the lees brings gentle layers of toasted bread, almond and a touch of brioche, but it never feels heavy. The palate is dry, taut and confidently structured, driven by firm acidity and a fine, persistent bead, finishing long and savoury with a lovely mineral edge. Produced under the Trento DOC appellation, the base wine is fermented in stainless steel and kept on its lees for six months with regular bâtonnage to build texture and structure. It then undergoes second fermentation in bottle and is aged for a minimum of 60 months before disgorgement, giving the wine depth and fine, persistent mousse.
