The best French wines from Alsace<\/h2>\n

Alsace is a beautiful region located in the north-east of France, with abundant vineyards, valleys and mountains.<\/strong> Its neighboring countries are Germany and Switzerland. The vineyards of Alsace are renowned for many grape varieties such as Riesling, Pinot blanc, Gew\u00fcrztraminer, Pinot gris, Pinot noir, Sylvaner or Muscat<\/strong>. If you visit this charming region, you will be able to find many of the prestigious Alsace Grand Cru wines, which are limited vineyard wines. Grand Cru sites must be made from one of the\u00a0four \u2018noble grape varieties\u2019: Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gew\u00fcrztraminer and Muscat.<\/p>\n

Two other rare wine designations can be found in Alsace: \u00a0\u00ab\u00a0Vendanges Tardives\u00a0\u00bb (\u00ab\u00a0Late Harvest\u00a0\u00bb) and \u00ab\u00a0S\u00e9lection de Grains Nobles\u00a0\u00bb (\u00ab\u00a0Selection of Noble Berries\u00a0\u00bb).<\/p>\n

We also heartily recommend you taste the Cr\u00e9mant d’Alsace, a delicious sparkling wine mostly made from Pinot Blanc<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
