Frerejean Frères was founded by brothers Guillaume, Richard, and Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger, who began by making Champagne just for friends and family. By 2005, demand had grown—and so did the business.
They combine traditional Champagne methods with a modern mindset, keeping production small and focused while now exporting to select outlets around the world.
Their Cuvée des Hussards, named after Napoleon’s light cavalry (famous for sabrage), is bold and expressive. Made from old-vine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown on chalky soils, it’s a Champagne with real depth, elegance, and mineral finesse.
What the critics say:
"Pale yellow colour with slightly greenish hue. Delightful nose reminiscent of lemon zest, green figs, greengage, Nashi pear, starfruit and a discreet hint of iodine marine air. On the palate well structured with crisp acidity, lively and fine mousseux, exquisite fruit flavour on the restrained side, distinct minerality. An excellent wine with depth and salivary character."
"Lush, plush and very luxurious with layered notes of dried apple, honey and soft spices. The palate is pure velvet and savoury, braced with toasted nut and the merest hint of smoke. Accomplished Winemaking! Platinum Award Winner"
