AOC Alsace Grand Crus

The label of an A.O.C. or Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée Alsace Grand Cru is given only to wines which match particularly strict quality standards, more precisely in terms of specific vineyards, of a certain degree of ripeness, of successful completion of a tasting test by experts, etc...
The label of each and every bottle must clearly show the grape variety because only Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Tokay Pinot Gris and Muscat are allowed, the vintage and one of the fifty defined vineyards are entitled to this appellation.
It is the character of the soil, as much as the grape variety, which make of each wine of Appellation Origine Alsace Grand Cru an unique wine .
