Frerejean Frères Dinner with Rodolphe Taittinger

Announcing a special event with Rodolphe Taittinger, Co-Owner and Founder of Champagne Frerejean Frères, one of the most exciting producers in Champagne right now.

Frerejean Frères are quality, boutique Avize-based producers. Their wines have a lovely weight and silky texture to them owed to extended time on lees (five years minimum) and use of malolactic fermentation. They are also very delicious and nicely balanced. Those who might recoil at the austerity of some blanc de blancs will find Frerejean Frères particularly palate friendly.
