Wine estates Riquewihr

In Greek, agape means "divine and unconditional love". Vincent Sipp has chosen to name his estate after this word because, he says, "wine is a link with the past and we are transmitters of emotions". The excellent work of this sympathetic winegrower has not escaped the eye of the critics: his wines are often cited in the leading wine magazines. His Riesling Expression is a little marvel of minerality. As for his Crémant d'Alsace Rosé Brut, its delicious aromas of raspberry currant can be enjoyed as an aperitif as well as with dessert!

Descended from a long line of master coopers, wine brokers and then winegrowers, the Dopff family has a 13-generation tradition of expertise. Today, Étienne-Arnaud and his wife manage the estate, supported by their team of 50 enthusiasts. A visit (by appointment) to the Dopff museum, wine library and cellars will take you right to the heart of the legend of Alsace wines. Our favorite is the Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg 2017, with its floral, fruity nose, 2 stars and a Coup de Coeur in the Guide Hachette des Vins. Cheers!

A great name in Alsatian viticulture, the Hugel family has been dedicated for generations to the promotion of Alsace wines. This estate of 30 ha, with a worldwide reputation, exported to more than 100 countries, is today managed by Jean-Frédéric and Marc-André, representing the ^13th generation. Tastings are possible in their typical and charming cellar. A favorite is the Gentil Hugel 2021, which combines the spice of gewurztraminer, the body of pinot gris and the subtlety of riesling with the fruitiness of muscat and the thirst-quenching side of sylvaner.
