Today, two generations are at the helm of Dopff Au Moulin: Pierre-Etienne Dopff and Etienne-Arnaud Dopff. With nearly 9 hectares, Domaines Dopff is the largest owner in Riquewihr's famous Grand Cru 'Schoenenbourg'. For this white wine, the Gewürztraminer is grown on very old vines. This old vineyard doesn't produce many bunches, but it is invaluable: powerful and full-bodied aromas and flavors from these grapes. This is partly due to the perfect climate, strong soil structure, and meticulous attention to the vineyards. This combination has proven successful for years, making this Dopff Au Moulin Gewürztraminer an essential part of our range.
Ripeness and purity are the best words to describe this Gewürztraminer. The Dopff Au Moulin family has managed to extract incredible power, thanks in part to the old vineyards. As soon as we open this bottle, we immediately smell a powerful aroma of ripe flowers, herbs, and a touch of yellow fruit. Upon pouring, we see a bright golden yellow color that is very appealing. Beautiful aromas burst from the glass, bringing to mind hints of peach, apricot, spices, vanilla, and a hint of mango. The palate is pampered with a thick structure, abundant yellow fruit, a touch of honey, and some nuances of herbs and spices. The finish is long and typical of Gewürztraminer, thick and robust.
