2020 Cremant D'Alsace Chardonnay Sans Soufre Ajouté, Dopff Au Moulin

Alsace, France

“The Alpine Spark”

Pale gold with a lively mousse, this Crémant d’Alsace opens with aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and white flowers, touched by brioche and almond. On the palate, it’s crisp and elegant, orchard fruit layered with lemon peel and subtle toast. The mousse is fine, the acidity mouth-watering, and the finish refreshingly clean.

For when: you want Champagne style without Champagne formality.
Pairs with: smoked salmon blinis, sushi, or Sunday brunch.
If this wine were a mood, it’d be the first fresh breeze through an open window in spring.

Dopff au Moulin is one of Alsace’s pioneering sparkling producers, credited with being among the first to craft Crémant d’Alsace in the early 20th century. This Chardonnay bottling showcases their finesse – vibrant, precise, and shaped by Alsace’s cool climate and mineral soils.

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 winemaking philosophy was to use minimal intervention, specifically for this cuvée,
which was vinified without the addition of sulphur throughout the entire process. The
grapes were whole bunch pressed and the first pressed juice was fermented in
stainless steel or concrete tanks, with carefully selected yeasts. The wine was bottled in
March, when it underwent the secondary fermentation in the bottle. Matured on the
lees for five months and on the slats for 20 months, adding complexity and ensuring the
finest bubbles, until disgorgement. Zero dosage.
