Last updated August 25, 2026
Overview
Dopff au Moulin is a family winery based in Riquewihr, in France's Alsace wine region. The estate traces its history to 1574, placing it among the region's long-established wine businesses. Its vineyards cover more than 70 hectares and are located in and around the historic wine-producing area of Riquewihr. The winery's principal product is Crémant d'Alsace, the sparkling wine appellation associated with Alsace. Crémant d'Alsace is produced in the traditional-method sparkling-wine tradition and represents the estate's clearest point of association in available reference material. The business is therefore positioned around regional origin, family continuity, vineyard ownership or cultivation, and Alsatian sparkling wine rather than around a broad portfolio of unrelated consumer goods. Riquewihr is one of Alsace's best-known wine towns, and the winery's identity is closely tied to that place. The Dopff au Moulin name connects the brand to the area's historic viticultural culture and to the production of wines identified with the Alsace region. Publicly available reference material is limited and does not establish detailed information about the family's individual members, ownership structure, distribution footprint, sales, export markets, product cuvées, or current management. Those details are consequently left unspecified here.
History
Dopff au Moulin is identified as a family winery in Riquewihr, France, with origins dating to 1574. Its long operating history places it within the tradition of historic Alsatian wine houses and family viticultural enterprises. The available reference does not name the founding individual or provide a continuous account of ownership, management, or corporate reorganizations, so the early history can be described only at the level of the winery's stated establishment date and family character. The estate is associated with more than 70 hectares of grape-growing land in and around Riquewihr. This geographic base is significant to the brand because Riquewihr is a recognized wine-producing locality in Alsace, and the winery's identity is presented through its connection to the town and the broader Alsace wine region. The estate's history is therefore not separable from the regional system of vineyards, appellations, and family wine production. Dopff au Moulin's principal named product is Crémant d'Alsace, a sparkling wine from Alsace. The reference material characterizes this as the winery's main product, making it the central expression of the brand in the available record. No detailed production chronology, vintage history, grape-variety information, annual output, distribution data, or export strategy is supplied. Likewise, the available material does not document specific marketing campaigns, leadership changes, acquisitions, lawsuits, recalls, or other controversies. The brand remains best understood as a long-established, family-operated Alsace winery whose public profile centers on its Riquewihr location, extensive vineyard holdings, and Crémant d'Alsace.

It is a sparkling wine associated with the Alsace wine region of France.

Alsace winesRegional wine
The winery grows grapes on more than 70 hectares in the Riquewihr area of Alsace and is described as a family winery of the region. Beyond the specifically identified Crémant d'Alsace, the available source does not provide a reliable catalog of still-wine labels, varietals, cuvées, or vintages. This entry therefore records Alsace wines as the broader category associated with the estate rather than asserting particular unverified products.
