Alsace Classification - Grand Cru

Alsace Classification - Grand Cru

In Alsace, the Grand Cru classification designates exceptional terroirs recognized for their ability to produce superior-quality wines, faithfully reflecting the richness of the soil, climate, and local expertise.

This classification was officially created in 1975 and currently includes 51 lieux-dits spread across the entire Alsatian vineyard. Each Grand Cru is strictly demarcated and subject to precise rules: limited yields, manual harvesting, authorized grape varieties (mainly Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat), and high ripening conditions.

These wines powerfully express the unique character of their terroir, often on ancient and complex soils (granite, limestone, schist, sandstone, etc.). Unlike other regions, the classification concerns the lieu-dit, not the producer.

The Grands Crus of Alsace are perfect for lovers of powerful, deep, and elegant wines with ageing potential.
