Pioneer of Organic Agriculture and Biodynamics in Alsace, the Charles Frey Estate has 14 hectares of property and is located in the village of Dambach-la-Ville. A family history that goes back to the 18th century and continues with the recent arrival of Julien and Thiébaud, the sons of Dominique Frey. The Frey estate can rely on remarkable terroirs such as Frauenberg, Victoriasberg, Grand Cru Frankstein or Blettig.
