We went through several bottles of Cordon Negro at our annual Christmas party last night. Interestingly, the pronunciation given on the back of the bottles here in Japan is close to "Fre-shi-ney," but the Catalan woman in the above link pronounces it with a clear "t" on the end. Cheers!

Next time I try a bottle I'll definitely read the back of the label and see what it says. Cheers Hi Peter

Just checked CellarTracker & find I don't have any bottles left. I guess that's because I have been buying so much bargain priced Champagne recently. I thought the back label had the pronunciation.
