Champagne Frerejean Freres Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Magnum

This Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs in magnum opens with a fine, persistent bead and a luminous golden hue. The nose layers lemon oil, ripe stone fruit and white blossom over delicate brioche and a touch of vanilla from its time in seasoned Burgundy barrels. The palate is creamy yet taut, driven by chalk-lined Côte des Blancs minerality, with excellent balance and length. Long ageing in the cellar adds composure and complexity, finishing on saline citrus and toasted almond notes that make it as compelling at table as it is as an aperitif.
