Alsace & Jura Wines

Alsace, its 15,500 hectares tucked against the Vosges mountains, is home to 51 Grand Cru vineyards and some of France's purest expressions of Riesling and Gewurztraminer as single varietals; the Jura, barely 1,950 hectares near the Swiss border and birthplace of Arbois, France's very first controlled appellation, in 1936, produces the singular Vin Jaune, aged for years under a veil of yeast without ever topping up the barrel. Together these two eastern regions offer some of France's most distinctive and terroir-driven wines. Among them, you will find in particular Domaine Valentin Zusslin, Domaine Rolet, Domaine de la Borde, and Domaine Courbet, and more at The Vintage Wine Club.
