White Sturgeon Caviar from Lady Elena Caviar 

Champagne Frerejean Frères is a small Premier Cru Champagne House founded by the Taittinger brothers, Guillaume, Richard and Rodolphe. They produce only Premier Cru champagnes that are made from a single vintage and single crus.

Frerejean Frères Premier Cru, is located 6 miles South of Epernay, straddling the Cote des Blancs and the Village of Grauves with the cellars located in Grauves.

They use the three traditional grapes for champagne. The Chardonnay grapes come from the Premier Cru vineyards of the Cote des Blancs with the Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier also grown in Premier Cru Vineyards with the same soils.

This champagne is a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier and is aged for five years on the lees before disgorgement with a dosage level of 6.5 g/l. Then it ages for another year in the cellar before release. 

Champagne Description

The Frerejean Frères Premier Cru Brut champagne has a golden yellow color with fine streaming bubbles. There are aromas of orange blossoms, ripe peach, pear, brioche and speckles of spice. On the palate there is soft minerally nutty citrus. The finish is layered with minerality, ripe peach, almond and caramel notes that linger. The roundness and complexity of this champagne makes it so enjoyable alone and will pair with so many different foods.

Lady Elena Caviar Pairing

Americana Caviar (White Sturgeon):The pairing of Frerejean Frères Premier Cru Brut champagne with the White Sturgeon caviar brings out the nuttiness of both the champagne and the caviar and also brings a cleansed palate. A great Lady Elena Caviar pairing.
