As I mingled with fellow wine enthusiasts, I couldn’t help but appreciate the passion and dedication that went into crafting each bottle. The anticipation grew as I awaited the opportunity to taste the wines that beautifully captured the essence of Alsace.
The event began with a presentation about Dopff au Moulin’s history and winemaking philosophy. It was inspiring to learn about their meticulous approach to crafting wines that reflect the unique terroir and grape varietals of the region. The journey of the grapes from vine to bottle was truly fascinating, and I gained a newfound appreciation for the art of winemaking.
Finally, it was time to taste the wines that had garnered so much acclaim. The first pour was the Crement D’Alsace CuvΓ©e Julien Brut, a sparkling wine with a slight floral touch and generous notes. Its sophistication made it the perfect aperitif, and it paired wonderfully with a fish terrine that brought out its finesse.
Crement D’Alsace CuvΓ©e Blanc de Noirs Brut 2019
Next up was the Crement D’Alsace CuvΓ©e Blanc de Noirs Brut 2019, which showcased a light yellow hue with a hint of salmon pink. The fine bubbles and persistent corolla delighted the senses, and the wine’s dry vinous character with a nice freshness left me longing for more. This sparkling wine was truly premium, and I couldn’t resist indulging in its sparkling, shiok goodness.
2018 Pinot Noir
For the red wine lovers, the 2018 Pinot Noir was an absolute delight. Its notes of cherry and spices danced gracefully on my palate, creating an aromatic and complex experience. With its silky tannins, balanced acidity, and racy freshness, this wine was a perfect companion throughout the meal. Pairing it with succulent red meats unlocked its full potential and made for an unforgettable tasting experience.
2018 Riesling
The 2018 Riesling, with its bright yellow robe and fine expressive notes, offered a mineral and floral aroma that I couldn’t resist. This wine’s versatility made it an excellent choice to spice up seafood, shellfish, and fish dishes, leaving a hint of sweetness on my palate.
2019 Gewurztraminer
Moving on to the 2019 Gewurztraminer, I was greeted by an expressive bouquet filled with flowers, spice, and smoky notes. This full-bodied and elegant wine delighted me with its spicy and floral aromas. Its harmonious and complex palate, coupled with great acidity, made it the perfect companion for foie gras or strong cheese. The smooth and not overly intense notes of this wine truly impressed me.
2017 Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg
Lastly, I was treated to the 2017 Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg, which captivated my senses with overripe yellow fruit notes evolving into spices. This fresh and racy wine offered an aromatically complex experience, with hints of candied citrus and pepper. Its very long and persisting finish left a lasting impression. Paired with sea fish or river delicacies, it showcased its personality and truly shined on the most refined tables. As a lover of strong wines, this white wine had my heart.
