The Story

Domaine Charles Frey has been practicing of the organic and biodynamic viticulture since 1996, being a pioneer among the first winemakers to work that way. The family history goes back to the 18th century : first vintage was made in 1963, by Charles Frey, upon his return from the war. His son Dominique took over the estate in 1984, and today, the vineyard is run by 3rd generation Julien and Thiébaud. The vineyard extends on 14 hectares, on remarkable and various terroirs (sand, granite, clay, silt, mica), divided in distinct locations (Grands Crus, hamlets).
