Champagne Cuvée des Hussards 2013 Premier Cru Frerejean Frères

Champagne Cuvée des Hussards 2013 Premier Cru by Frerejean Frères is a refined expression of the Côte des Blancs, designed for those seeking a Champagne with great personality, finesse, and capacity for evolution. Predominantly made from Chardonnay, with a small portion of Pinot Noir, it combines elegance, taste tension, and aromatic depth in an authentically gastronomic profile.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from Vertus, a Premier Cru village in Champagne, an area historically suited for wines with marked freshness and precise structure. The 2013 vintage, harvested late, allowed for an interesting balance between maturity and liveliness. The long aging on the lees, indicated between 8 and 10 years, helps define a complex and mature style, while the Extra Brut dosage keeps the sip crisp, dry, and vertical.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a bright golden color and fine, continuous perlage. The bouquet recalls ripe white fruit, such as pear and peach, citrus, pastry notes, toasted almonds, and dried fruit. On the palate, the entry is vibrant, with a well-integrated citrus freshness in a creamy and silky texture. The structure is elegant, the progression harmonious, and the finish long, mineral, and persistent, with a sensation of great precision.

Recommended pairings

This Champagne pairs naturally with seafood appetizers, raw fish, tartare, shellfish, and mollusk-based preparations. Its complexity also makes it suitable for more structured dishes such as baked fish, delicate poultry, seafood risottos, aged cheeses, and refined cuisine based on mushrooms or noble vegetables. It is also ideal as a toast wine for important occasions.
