Gault&Millau's review 2026

This wine reveals an indulgent nose with notes of almond, plum, citrus, toast and vanilla, complemented by floral touches of rose and peony. The creamy, intoxicating bubbles accompany a fleshy, powerful structure. On the palate, the light attack evolves into a seductive mellowness, while the buttery layer coats the palate with sublime distinction. With great complexity, this sensitive wine offers a rich finish of tropical fruit and pastry notes. A complete experience that sweeps you away like a roller coaster, making you want to dance without ever letting go.

Frerejean Frères

Descended from a family of cannon-makers during the Napoleonic Empire, the three Frerejean brothers, Guillaume, Rodolphe and Richard, created their champagne house in 2005. They produce their cuvées in premier and grand crus, exclusively from the Côte des Blancs, and using only pinot noir and chardonnay grapes. The vines are cultivated with respect for the terroir, with minimal use of pesticides and sulfites. The wines are disgorged late, with low dosage, and aged between 6 and 12 years in the cellar.
