Château de Riquewihr Dopff & Irion expanded its export portfolio to the U.S. with the addition of three wines from its premium range: Grand Cru Schoenenbourg Riesling, Grand Cru Vorbourg Pinot Gris and Crémant d’Alsace Elegance Cuvée Prestige.
All three wines are now available with limited allocation through the brand’s importer, Dreyfus, Ashby & Co. Both Grand Crus are sourced directly from the Château’s vineyards in historic Riquewihr and excellent representations of the region’s terroir. All three wines have won several international awards, with the 2013 Grand Cru Schoenenbourg Riesling capturing the title of Best Riesling in the World (Jancis Robinson Riesling Trophy) by the IWSC last November.
“We aim to showcase both the quality and authenticity of our wines as our brand continues to grow in the U.S.,” commented Frédéric Raynaud, CEO of Dopff & Irion. “We’ve established a strong place in the market with our Crustacés, Crémant d’Alsace Brut Rose and our Cuvée Rene Dopff wines. It has opened the door for us to bring some of the best of Alsace to America through our Grand Crus, prized for intense concentration of fruit and expressive terroir.”
