Discover the Excellence of Alsace Grands Crus Wines

Alsace is celebrated for its Grands Crus—wines produced from exceptional vineyard sites, each with unique geological and climatic properties. The Grands Crus appellation represents the pinnacle of Alsace quality, with strict standards and low yields guaranteeing authentic expression of terroir. Only four grape varieties—Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat (Alsace type)—are permitted for Grands Crus wines.

Exclusive Tastings of Alsace’s Finest Whites

Throughout the day, visit carefully chosen wineries where you’ll sample outstanding Grands Crus whites. Taste mineral-driven Rieslings, elegant Pinot Gris, aromatic Muscats, and full-bodied Gewurztraminers, each illustrating the diverse character of Alsace’s grand terroirs. At each tasting, learn how factors like soil, climate, and grape variety combine to create wines of remarkable purity and depth.

Explore Unique Grands Crus and Sustainable Winemaking

Journey beyond the classics to discover lesser-known Grands Crus, distinguished by unique geological compositions. When possible, you’ll visit wineries practicing organic or biodynamic viticulture, gaining insight into Alsace’s commitment to sustainability and respect for the land.

Savour Late-Harvest Specialties and Rare Wines

Further along the route, enjoy rare opportunities to taste late harvest and “Selection de Grains Nobles” wines—styles renowned for their richness and aromatic complexity. Discover how extended ripening and careful selection transform Gewurztraminer and other varieties into generous, nuanced wines.
