ALSAC E
In eastern France lies a small wine region nestled between the protective
Vosges Mountains and the Rhine River along the border of Germany.
Pinot Gris
Gewurtztraminer
Riesling
The long dry summers are perfect for growing the white aromatic grape
varieties Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat. Wines are
bottled in the slim Alsatian flutes and the grape variety are written on
the label. The Rieslings are normally dry, un-oaked with very pure fruit
flavours and the grape are richer often with some sweetness.
The term “Grand Cru” means the grapes have come from a superior
vineyard site. You may see also here “Séléction de Grains Noble” - made
from grapes affected by noble rot, always be sweet and “Vendage
Tardive” - using late harvest grapes, giving a medium sweet wine. Both
are excellent matches with Foie Gras.
