Alsace Wines — Elegance and Aromatic Precision
Over 90 % of Alsace wines are white, celebrated for their diversity, purity, and remarkable ability to reflect their terroir. Sheltered by the Vosges mountains and blessed with a dry continental climate, Alsace produces wines of great expression and refined elegance.
Signature grape varieties
- Riesling — crisp, racy and mineral, with lemon and honeysuckle notes, offering great freshness.
- Gewurztraminer — powerful and expressive, with aromas of rose, spice, and exotic fruit.
- Pinot Gris — round and structured, often richer, with balanced fruity flavors.
- Sylvaner — light, fresh, and delicate, with acacia blossom and lively acidity.
Vendanges Tardives & Sélections de Grains Nobles
Beyond its iconic dry wines, Alsace is also renowned for producing outstanding sweet wines:
- Vendanges Tardives (VT) — luscious, late-harvest wines with richness, concentration, and excellent aging potential.
- Sélections de Grains Nobles (SGN) — made from noble rot, among the most prestigious dessert wines in the world, capable of aging for decades.
These wines offer extraordinary aromatic complexity — honey, exotic fruit, floral notes — carried by elegance and remarkable precision.
A uniquely expressive terroir
Protected by the Vosges mountains, Alsace enjoys one of the driest and sunniest climates in France. Its diverse soils (granite, limestone, schist, sandstone, marl) impart a wide range of minerality and texture, giving the wines their unmistakable purity and aromatic precision.
Food pairings
- Shellfish & seafood, grilled fish.
- White meats & poultry, Asian or spicy cuisine.
- Aged cheeses and foie gras (exceptional with VT & SGN).
