2012 | Frerejean Freres | Cuvee des Hussards

Very versatile, with notes of citrus and balanced acidity, it will be perfect from the aperitif to the dessert.

Reviews:

• Decanter: 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.

• Jancis Robinson: Pale and lively. Straight up the nose. Quite different from the wines so far. More lively and tense but good undertow. Fruit not oak expressed here. Racy with depth and undertow. Vibrant
