Fresne-Ducret is rich in family history and has been rooted in the premier cru village of Villedommange since the mid 1800s. Originally growing grapes for large champagne houses, it wasn’t until the end of the second world war that the family decided to make their own wine. The tradition carries on today with Pierre Fresne and his wife Daniella, who are the embodiment of the Fresne Ducret story: at the crossroads of cultures and history. They represent a new generation of winemakers devoted to the future of champagne, keen to preserve the land that has sustained their family for so long. 

Part of the 'Arquémie' collection of micro-cuvées—a nod to medieval alchemy—these exceptional wines are crafted by Pierre, tailored to each vintage profile. The N°7 Blanc de Blancs exhibits impressive maturity and complexity on the nose, with a rich autolytic character emerging in the glass. It boasts a remarkable balance of sweetness and acidity, featuring a soft palate where persistent effervescence enhances its creamy texture. Along with secondary notes of custard and toasted nuts, there are abundant citrus and orchard fruit flavours that bring out the youthfulness still very present in the wine. A superb addition to any cellar.

Oysters and caviar are timeless companions for Blanc de Blancs, perfectly complementing the wine's intensity and freshness. You may also consider pairing it with fried calamari, or with smoked fish such as salmon or trout.

Fresne-Ducret is rich in family history and has been rooted in the premier cru village of Villedommange since the mid 1800s. Originally growing grapes for the big champagne houses, it wasn’t until the end of the second world war that the family decided to make their own wine. The tradition carries on today with Pierre Fresne and his wife Daniella (an Oakville ex-pat). Their philosophy is to produce wines that best exemplify the terroir of Villedommange, and they do this with sustainability in mind.

The New Explorers is an initiatory journey through the Premier Cru lands of Champagne Fresne Ducret. It is an invitation to meet those who have forged the image of the family house. Produced mainly from Pinot Meunier, which was once the only grape variety in Villedommange, this vintage first reveals the freshness of its yellow apple aromas before lifting the veil on more complex notes of honeyed toast and raspberry. The bubbles are fine and persistent but the true highlight of this wine comes from its thirst-quenching acidity. 

Serve as an aperitif or with a French apple tart.

Bright & Creamy

Fresne-Ducret is rich in family history and has been rooted in the premier cru village of Villedommange since the mid 1800s. Le Chemin du Chemin is a foray into the essence of their winery.

The first aromas are of apricot and fresh bread, with floral notes, giving way to more complex notes of praline, hazelnut and shortbread. In the mouth, delicate brioche aromas, creamy and buttery, followed by a savouriness with hints of tea. Particularly well-balanced, with a soft astringency.  Aged for a minimum of 48 months on the lees in underground cellars.

Pair this excellent champagne with all the classics matches: oysters, light fish dishes... We also recommend to pair it with fried chicken, porchetta, potato chips or seared scallops. It really does goes with everything!
