2023 Pinot Gris, Dopff au Moulin

Alsace, France

Pale gold with a gentle shimmer, this Alsace Pinot Gris unfolds with aromas of pear, honeyed peach, and soft spice, laced with a hint of jasmine and smoke. The palate is textured and expressive with ripe orchard fruit wrapped in a silky richness, balanced by fresh acidity and a subtle mineral core. Generous yet poised, it captures that sunlit Alsatian balance between ripe fruit and effortless elegance.

For when: dinner drifts into golden light and the table’s still full. Pairs with: roast pork, spiced duck, or creamy mushroom tagliatelle. If this wine were a moment, it’d be the last warm glow before sunset.

Founded in 1574 in Riquewihr, Dopff au Moulin is one of Alsace’s most historic estates, credited with pioneering both still and sparkling wines in the region. The Pinot Gris vineyards, rooted in clay and limestone slopes around the village, deliver fruit of depth and purity, hand-harvested and fermented slowly to preserve texture and aroma. The 2023 vintage reflects the Dopff hallmark: supple, expressive and finely balanced, a quietly confident Alsace classic.

Established in Riquewihr in 1574, the Dopff family has dedicated itself to producing fine Alsatian wine for over 13 generations. A pioneering family, they were responsible for the stemmed wine bottles, which today still distinguish Alsace wines from other regions. In 1900, tenth generation Julien Dopff was so impressed by the Champagne tastings held in Paris, he learnt the art of winemaking in Champagne for two years before returning to Alsace. After WWII Julien Dopff strongly believed that a Crémant made from local grape varieties which reflected the terroir of Alsace should be protected. In 1976, together with five other producers, Dopff finally obtained official recognition for Crémant d’Alsace as an AOC. Their 70-hectare vineyard is situated at 300 metres elevation, nestled in the foothills of the Vosges Mountains and since 2020 they hold the HVE certification for sustainability.

The grapes were carefully selected and pressed in whole bunches. A short decantation was followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, to optimise the varietal expression and purity of fruit flavours.
