Alsace Grand Cru AOC

Alsace Grand Cru is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée for wines made in the Alsace wine region of France.

The wines come from selected sites in the Alsace AOC region, currently 50 are listed, although experts believe that some of these sites are not of Grand Cru status, and may also have boundaries set too large.

All wines are white and can be produced from the noble Alsace varieties: Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Gris and Gewürtztraminer grapes. The initial regulations said these must be varietal wines, but it has since been extended to allow blends of these.
