Dopff & Irion
Dopff & Irion produces wines across Alsace's distinctive terroir, where cool continental climate and mineral-rich soils shape aromatic white varieties and sparkling wines. The winery's portfolio centers on Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay—grapes that thrive in the region's conditions. The Grand Cru Schoenenbourg Vendanges Tardives Riesling, made from late-harvest fruit, achieves complexity through extended ripening and natural sweetness. L'Exception Brut Pinot Gris channels the variety's stone-fruit character into sparkling form, while Egérie Chardonnay Brut demonstrates how the region's cooler climate suits the grape's mineral expression in a traditional-method sparkling wine. These flagship releases have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Decanter, reflecting the winery's standing within Alsace's quality framework.
