Fresh & Delicate

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.

A maiden voyage to the Premier Cru land of Champagne Fresne Ducret. It is an invitation to meet those who forged the family’s image. Made predominately from pinot meunier, which was once the only varietal grown in Villedommange, this cuvée reveals first and foremost freshness with its apple aromas, before unveiling more complex notes of toast and raspberry. Golden yellow colour, with a fine and regular effervescence. This fruity champagne expresses a lovely freshness, with apple aromas accented by notes of honey, toast and raspberry, highlighted by a thirst-quenching acidity.

Serve as an aperitif or with a French apple tart.

About the Winery

Champagne Fresne Ducret

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.

In 2014, Pierre Fresne embarked on a new adventure by creating a limited series of champagnes based on his desire for experimentation. Since then, he has produced one or two of these wines each year. Each are unique, according to his wishes and the profile of the vintage. This unique collection is called Arquémie, the term for alchemy in the Middle Ages. In 2018 Pierre began converting the vineyards to organic viticulture, and 2021 will be their first organic certified vintage.
