regionAlsace
A dry strip in the rain shadow of the Vosges where nearly everything is white — except pinot noir, the one red grape the appellation allows.
Today Tradition
What used to be pale and often rosé now gets destemmed, barrel-aged and sold as red, and the 2022 rules brought thirteen grand cru sites into play for it. Tradition holds — the older bottles were lighter because nobody expected otherwise.
