Frerejean Freres is a distinguished Champagne maison founded in 2005 by brothers Guillaume, Richard, and Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger in the Grand Cru village of Avize. Steeped in family heritage and inspired by the expertise of local growers, the maison has become a leader in Champagne’s ‘quiet revolution,’ producing low-quantity, high-quality champagnes that emphasize craftsmanship and terroir.
With fifth-generation winemaker Didier Pierson at the helm, Frerejean Frères exclusively uses Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. Their meticulous winemaking includes aging each cuvee for a minimum of five years, a blend featuring 30-50% reserve wines, light sugar dosage (under 6g/L), and fermentation in enamel tanks and used Burgundy oak barrels. Only the ‘tete de cuvee’—the finest first press—is used, ensuring exceptional quality.
The maison’s commitment to excellence has garnered global acclaim, becoming the official Champagne of the Michelin Guide in France since 2019 and gracing Air France’s La Première cabins. Balancing tradition with innovation, Frerejean Freres embodies elegance, depth, and a profound respect for Champagne’s artisanal roots.
