Frerejean Frères Premier Cru Extra Brut NV
Frerejean Frères was founded by the Frerejean-Taittinger brothers in the Côte des Blancs region of Champagne, with a focus on producing high-quality Champagnes from Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. The house combines traditional methods with a modern touch, emphasising long aging and a commitment to expressing terroir. Their Champagne is now sold in hand-selected outlets the world over, but have stayed true to a small-scale approach. The Premier Cru Extra Brut is incredibly versatile when it comes to food pairing due to its dry, crisp style. It pairs beautifully with seafood like oysters, lobster, and sushi, as well as delicate white fish dishes. Its acidity and minerality also make it a great match for creamy cheeses such as Brie or Camembert, or even rich dishes like risotto with truffle or mushroom.
Louis Roederer, Collection 242, Multiple Vintages
Designed to represent the new approach the house is taking in line with the importance they place on sustainability and efforts to reduce the effects of climate change, the Louis Roederer Collection identifies and brings out the characteristics of terroirs enjoying sustainable practices. Over half the grapes in this MV are from the 2017 vintage, a year when no Vintage Louis Roederer, Cristal or Cristal Rosé will not be released. The best of the crop has found its way into this particular cuvée. Collection 242 signifies the 242nd harvest since its foundation in 1776 and replaces the Brut Premier NV.
