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).
Their Cremant, produced with the local varieties Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois and Riesling, is a delicious, fruity and fresh style. Made without dosage (zero sugar) but in excellent balance, thanks to ripe fruit and up to 24 months ageing on lees in their cellars.
Citrus and stone fruit aromas, floral notes and subtle biscuit notes on the nose. The palate has a lively mousse, clean acidity and a lingering juicy finish. A lovely aperitif that pairs excellently with shellfish or canapes.
