Alsace wine region

[1] In 2006, 78 per cent of the Alsatian vineyards were producing wine under the Alsace AOC appellation.

The Alsace Grand Cru AOC, which is a separate appellation,[3] was not created until 1975.

Crémant d'Alsace is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée for sparkling wines.

Rosé Crémant d'Alsace is made exclusively from Pinot noir grapes.

Crémant d'Alsace is a significant part of the wine production in Alsace, with 18% of the region's vineyards used for this purpose.
