TASTING NOTES:

The Brut Grande Réserve follows the same vinification method and philosophy as the whole Frerejean Freres range.

Our wine maker has decided to bring a little bit of Pinot Meunier into the blend in order to elaborate a cuvée with a lot of complexity, but which can also be consumed younger. The Pinot Meunier makes its comeback, bringing roundness, suppleness and gentle floral aromas to wines that we age on average 3 years.

This cuvée is the perfect balance between the 3 emblematic Champagne grape varieties.

The Chardonnay brings elegance and finesse, with pastry notes.

Then the Pinot Noir takes over by giving us its roundness and its structure and by expressing its notes of mango, peach and honey…

Throughout the tasting the Pinot Meunier sets the rhythm with its floral freshness and notes of acacia on the finish.

FOOD PAIRING:

This is a champagne for all occasions!

Ideal to accompany a dinner aperitif, tapas, parma ham or a terrine.
