Cave du Roi Dagobert

From 70 hectares at its origins, the wine cooperative is now flirting with a surface area of almost 1,000 hectares developed by its 250 member winegrowers, originating from about twenty communes located around the cellar, between Molsheim and Marlenheim.

The Cave du Roi Dagobert represents today a major actor of the Alsatian wine industry. Thanks to the strong commitment of its winegrowers, it has been able to forge an image of professionalism and quality.

The name Dagobert Cellar has been used for many years in the wine industry.

The name Dagobert comes from its geographical position which follows the contours of the former domain of the Merovingian palace located in Kirchheim, and the distribution of the 4 farms which welcomed in the 7th century the famous King Dagobert II and his court.

And it is from this period that the first written reference to the cultivation of vines in Alsace dates.

Dagobert's domain was exploited by 4 royal farms located at the 4 cardinal points of the palace, which left their names to the current villages of Osthoffen in the east, Westhoffen in the west , Nordheim in the north and Soultz in the south.

These farms were already supplying the Royal Palace of Dagobert II with wine.
