Dopff Au Moulin is synonymous with tradition and innovation in the Alsace wine world. As one of the oldest family-owned wineries, dating back to 1524, the Dopff family has passed on their passion and expertise in winemaking for generations. Their global reputation was established in 1900 when Julien Dopff, inspired by his experiences in Champagne, introduced the sparkling Crémant d'Alsace. This sparkling wine is now a global icon. Furthermore, Dopff Au Moulin contributed to the introduction of the signature slender Alsace bottle, now synonymous with wines from this region.
Traditional Method: The Essence of Cuvée Julien
The refined Cremant d'Alsace Cuvée Julien is a harmonious blend of Auxerrois and Pinot Blanc grapes. These grapes, sourced from both our own vineyards and those of closely associated winegrowers, benefit from Alsace's cooler climate. Hand-harvesting ensures the selection of the finest bunches. And yes, this sparkling wine is produced according to the "Methode Traditionelle," similar to the Champagne production method. After careful fermentation, the wine is aged in the historic cellars of Dopff Au Moulin, resulting in a sparkling wine of exceptional quality.
