Alsace AOC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alsace is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée for wines made in the Alsace wine region of France.

Unlike most other French wine regions, there is only one AOC appellation for most wines made in the whole of Alsace. Other French wine regions have numerous appellations within them, often designating wine from a particular town or, even, an area within a certain town. The Alsace Grand Cru AOC was not created until 1975.
