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.
