Dopff Au Moulin Gewurztraminer Terres Epicees

Anyone who has ever visited Alsace will likely be familiar with the Dopff au Moulin family winery, located in Riquewihr for many years. The winery has been passed down through the generations, with each descendant bringing their knowledge and interests to the table. Dopff Au Moulin thus boasts a wealth of experience. Their greatest success came when the Dopff family launched a sparkling wine from Alsace, made according to the "mètre traditionelle" (traditional method). The sparkling wine from this region was a resounding success, and it was later named Crémant d'Alsace. But it didn't stop there, as Dopff Au Moulin first bottled the wine in the sleek, tall bottle we all know from this region today. We can safely say that Dopff Au Moulin was, and remains, very important to the Alsace region. They are currently one of the market leaders, without compromising on quality, as the wines are still produced by the Dopff family.

The old Gewurztraminer vineyard of Dopff Au Moulin

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.

Full and very powerful this Gewurztraminer

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.
