Dopff & Irion Cremant d'Alsace La Griffe du Diable Brut

Dopff & Irion’s La Griffe du Diable Brut is a non-vintage Crémant d’Alsace made from Chardonnay, offering an elegant alternative to Champagne from one of Alsace’s best-known wine villages. Its name and Riquewihr origins lend it a distinctive sense of place, while the Brut style makes it well suited to both celebrations and aperitif occasions.

Tasting Notes
Expect a pale, bright appearance with a fine sparkle. Chardonnay-led aromas commonly suggest citrus, crisp apple and subtle floral notes, with the traditional-method bubbles bringing a refreshing, lively feel to the palate. As no detailed tasting profile is provided for this bottling, these notes describe the style rather than a confirmed vintage-specific assessment. Enjoy it while its freshness and fruit are at their best; the non-vintage designation does not indicate a specific ageing period.

Production
The wine comes from Alsace, where the Vosges Mountains help create a relatively dry, sunny growing climate. Crémant d’Alsace is produced using the traditional method, with a second fermentation in bottle; specific vineyard sites, harvesting practices and maturation details for this cuvée are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 6–8°C, as an aperitif or alongside oysters, smoked salmon, soft cheeses and light savoury pastries. Decanting is not needed; open shortly before serving to preserve the wine’s freshness and effervescence.

Producer
Dopff & Irion is based at Château de Riquewihr, in the heart of Alsace’s wine country. The estate is closely associated with Riquewihr, a village with a long winemaking tradition; further details about the producer’s history and specific achievements are not provided.
