Alsace is broken up into two parts: The Bas-Rhin (to the North, by Strasbourg) and the Haut-Rhin (to the South on the low slopes of the Vosges Mountains).
Whilst most French wine regions have numerous AOC appellations within them, preferring to showcase the town names and subregions that a wine comes from, Alsace prefers to showcase the vineyard sites and specific ‘Lieux-Dits’ alongside the grape variety on the label.
Instead of a multitude of different AOCs Alsace simply has three: the generic Alsace AOC (responsible for around 92% of the wines in the region), Crement d’Alsace (the designation for sparkling wines produced in the region) and Alsace Grand Cru (the top tier 4% of Alsacian wine). The Grand-Cru are vineyard sites highlighted and certified for their exemplary terroir, there are only 51 throughout the region and only the white grapes Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat are permitted to be cultivated here; also known as the ‘noble grape varieties’.
