Nestled in the heart of Alsace, France, Dopff Au Moulin is a renowned winery that exudes both charm and sophistication. This illustrious vineyard, established in the 17th century, bears an enriching legacy that speaks volumes about the passion and dedication injected into every bottle produced.

The history of the Dopff family winemaking prowess dates back to 1574. Having had more than 13 generations nurturing the art of winemaking, they have become masters of their craft while also evolving with the changing tides of viticultural trends.

Set against the backdrop of the stunning Vosges mountains, Dopff Au Moulin covers approximately 70 hectares across various sections of the Alsace wine growing region. They boast an impressive array of vine species, from the crowd favourite aromatic Riesling to the delicate Pinot Gris, and the exquisite Gewurztraminer. The winery’s location offers an idyllic microclimate and fertile soils, which combined; yield the most succulent, flavour-packed grapes.

A standout feature of Dopff Au Moulin is their innovative approach to winemaking. They pioneered the now-popular method of making Crémant, a sparkling wine, which they introduced in 1900, and Anychampagne, a process involving fermenting the wine in the actual bottle it will be sold in. This constant push for innovation has set Dopff Au Moulin apart from the competition, solidifying its status as a leading player in the wine industry.

Despite its rich history and sizeable operation, Dopff Au Moulin places great emphasis on sustainability. The vineyard practises organic farming, reduces water usage, and encourages its employees to utilise electric vehicles.

In essence Dopff Au Moulin represents the perfect marriage between tradition and innovation, making it a tour de force within the global winemaking industry.
