Frerejean Frères is a distinguished champagne maison established by brothers Guillaume, Richard, and Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger. Growing up in the grand cru village of Avize, the brothers were immersed in the world of champagne from an early age. Inspired by their heritage and the expertise of local champagne growers, they founded Frerejean Frères in 2005, with fifth generation winemaker Didier Pierson leading the way. Originally crafted for friends and family, their champagne quickly gained popularity, leading to the expansion of the business.
Frerejean Frères is at the forefront of Champagne’s ‘quiet revolution,’ emphasizing traditional techniques to produce low quantity, high quality, and characterful champagnes. The maison prioritizes quality, terroir, and craftsmanship, using only premier and grand cru chardonnay and pinot noir vines. Their cuvées undergo a minimum aging process of five years to develop added complexity and finesse. Despite its global reach, Frerejean Frères remains committed to smallscale production.
Since 2019, Frerejean Frères has been the official supplier of the Michelin Guide in France, succeeding Veuve Clicquot and Billecart-Salmon, who held the position for nearly two decades. Their champagne is also served in Air France's La Première (First Class).
The essence of Champagne Frerejean Frères lies in six key elements: a blend with 30 to 50% of reserve wines from the best years, aging for an average of four to eight years in bottles before disgorging, a light dosage in sugar (generally less than 6g/l) determined through blind tasting to highlight each wine's character, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varieties predominantly from Premier Cru and Grand Cru villages, pressing using only the ‘tête de cuvée’ (musts from the first pressing), and fermentation and aging in enamel tanks and used Burgundy oak barrels.
