Alsace AOC is the principal and most important wine appellation of Alsace, encompassing the vast majority of white wines produced in this region. Established in 1962, its purpose was to guarantee quality, authenticity of origin, and preserve the unique winemaking heritage of this borderland between France and Germany.
Stretching over a narrow 120-kilometre strip along the eastern slopes of the Vosges Mountains, from Marlenheim in the north to Thann in the south, Alsace enjoys a continental and exceptionally dry climate. The Vosges range protects the vineyards from Atlantic rainfall, making this one of the driest wine regions in France. These conditions allow grapes to ripen slowly, retaining natural acidity and developing concentrated aromatics.
The soils of Alsace are remarkably diverse—granite, limestone, clay, sandstone, and even volcanic layers shape a wide spectrum of wine styles, from crisp and mineral-driven to rich and aromatic expressions.
Most wines under the Alsace AOC designation are white and made from the region’s four noble grape varieties: ‘Riesling’, ‘Gewürztraminer’, ‘Pinot Gris’, and ‘Muscat’. Unlike many other French regions, Alsace is known for varietal wines, and the grape variety is always stated on the label.
