The latest release of the Frerejean Frères NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru offers up aromas of warm biscuits, hazelnuts, dried citrus rind and crisp yellow orchard fruit, followed by a medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced palate, with lively acids, a youthfully frothy mousse and a nutty finish.
Chardonnay from Premier & Grand Cru vineyard of the prestigious Côte des Blancs. 100% Chardonnay from Cramant, Avize & Grauves.
50% of reserve wines from the harvests of 2010, 2011 & 2012.
Rich and reverberant. Lots of depth. Far from a typical Blanc de Blancs. Hint of oxidation which is what they want, apparently. Big and bold, very long. Obvious autolysis. Drink 2018-2026.
