In 1983, Jacques Frelin embarked on the organic adventure with the conviction that a wine must be naturally good.

Today, their daughter Mireille manages the vineyard, respecting the family tradition while bringing a more modern style.

Wines that reflect the great terroirs of Champagne

Founded in 1913, the house has been brilliantly revived by Victor Duntze (4th generation) and today produces harmonious, authentic and extremely promising wines.

In the 19th century, many Germans came to bring their management, accounting and commercial expertise to the young Champagne houses. Names such as Taittinger, Krug, Bollinger and Deutz began to become famous. Friedrich Duntze (1856-1944) was part of this wave.
