Alsace

Alsace

Stretching along the German border at the foot of the Vosges mountains, Alsace enjoys the driest climate in France, and a mosaic of granite and limestone soils that gives its wines a character found nowhere else.

The taut minerality of Riesling, the heady perfume of Gewurztraminer, the generous depth of Pinot Gris — the joy of Alsace lies in the way each grape variety speaks for itself, without artifice. These are also wines of remarkable versatility at the table, as at home with Japanese cooking as with anything else you might pour them alongside.
