Dopff Au Moulin Rouge des 2 Deux Cerfs Pinot Noir

Dopff Au Moulin, a historic family winery, has had its roots deep in the fertile soil of Alsace since 1574. Founded by the visionary Dopff family, this winery has preserved its heritage and traditions through the centuries, making it one of the most respected and oldest family wineries in the world. As a true ambassador of Alsace, Dopff Au Moulin has developed unparalleled expertise in viticulture. Around 1900, Julien Dopff revolutionized the wine world by producing the very first Alsace sparkling wine using the "methode traditionelle," inspired by his experiences in Reims (Champagne). This innovation led to the birth of what we now know as "Crémant d'Alsace." Furthermore, Dopff Au Moulin introduced the signature tall, slender bottle that is now synonymous with Alsace wines. Their red Pinot Noir, housed in this iconic bottle, is one of the jewels of their range.

Dopff Au Moulin's Signature: The Red Alsace Wine

Located in picturesque Riquewihr, Dopff Au Moulin is now passionately run by Pierre-Etienne Dopff and Etienne-Arnaud Dopff. This duo has a deep knowledge of Alsace and its unique terroir. While Dopff Au Moulin is proud of its own extensive vineyards full of Pinot Noir, they also value the close ties with winegrower friends, who are considered extensions of their family. These collaborations, which often span generations, contribute to the exclusivity of their Pinot Noir, a wine available only in limited quantities.

Pinot Noir grapes, nurtured by ancient vines and the ideal Alsace climate, form the basis for a red wine reminiscent of a refined Burgundy.

The palate is rich and warm, and when slightly chilled, the wine unfolds its full potential. With notes of wild strawberries, wild cherries, pepper, and spice, this wine offers a smooth and fruity finish that delights the senses. A true treat for any wine lover.
