Freixenet Brut Natura

Freixenet (pronounced "fresh-eh-net"), best known for its "black bottle bubbly" Cordon Negro, is a family-owned company that grew from humble beginnings in rural Catalunya. The roots of Freixenet stretch back to 1861 and are embedded in the history of two longstanding winemaking families, the Ferrers and the Salas, whose expertise, determination and ingenuity intertwined to form the foundation of the company that today is the world leader in sparkling wines. The proof, as they say, is in the bottle: today, the most often popped corks in the world say "Freixenet."

Winemaker Josep Bujan is the Technical Director for the Freixenet winery since 1980, Bujan is responsible for developing and refining the technical procedures that have allowed methode champenoise production of Freixenet cavas to soar to over one million bottles per year. A frequent enological lector and leader in the community of vintners in Catalunya through his work with a great number of professional wine societies, Bujan is also known for his writing. With the formation of a magazine to the publication of his book on sensory analysis, Bujan has established himself as one of Spain's most active enologists.
