Alsace Grand Cru

Alsace Grand Cru is a designation for some of the top-quality wines produced in the Alsace region of northeastern France. It indicates that the wine comes from a specific, recognized vineyard known for its exceptional terroir—climate, soil, and geography—that consistently produces high-quality grapes. These wines are typically made from Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, or Muscat grapes. The label assures maturity, craftsmanship, and a strong sense of place, often offering more complex and expressive flavors compared to standard Alsace wines, and is highly regarded by wine enthusiasts.
