Domaine Eugène Meyer is a Demeter-certified Biodynamic estate in the Alsace region of France. It has been continuously Biodynamic longer than any other winery, after Eugène and his wife Marie Rose converted to Biodynamics in 1969. Eugène had suffered the paralysis of an optic nerve when using a conventional vineyard spray. Eugène’s homeopath suggested he investigate Biodynamics but with essentially no other Biodynamic wine-growers to consult Meyer ended up reading a book on the subject by Harold Kabisch and working it out for himself. Eugène and Marie Rose were succeeded by their son François and his wife Sylvie. Now, one of François and Sylvie’s children, Xavier Meyer, is assuming various roles in the business.
