Discover the 9 Greatest Wine Regions in France That Every Wine Lover Must Visit!

6. Alsace

Alsace is located in northeastern France, near the German border. It's best known for its aromatic white wines. The key grapes grown here are Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris. The region’s dry climate and varied soils contribute to the production of crisp, mineral-driven wines.

Alsace wines are typically dry, though some can be sweeter, especially late-harvest varieties. The region stands out for its focus on single-variety wines, often labeled by grape (a bottle might be labeled simply as "Riesling" or "Gewürztraminer"), unlike most French wine regions.
