Alsace

Sheltered from oceanic influence by the Vosges mountains, the Alsace wine region enjoys practically the lowest rainfall in France (only 400-500mm per year) and is blessed with a semi-continental climate, sunny, hot and dry. Situated on the sub-Vosgian foothills, at an altitude of from 200 and 400 metres, the vineyards take maximum advantage of their exposure to the sun, particularly as the vines are trained along high wires. These specific advantages of the Alsace vineyards favor the slow, extended ripening of the grapes, giving wines with very elegant, complex aromas.The geology of Alsace is a real mosaic of soils, made up of granite, limestone, gneiss, schist, sandstone… Such a wide variety of soils, covering about 15 000 hectares, helps to bring out the finest characteristics of each grape variety, while the imprint of a particular terroir gives each Alsace wine its individuality, complexity and own unique hallmark.
