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
