AOC area in the French wine-growing region of Alsace, which is one class above the normal AOC Alsace. The designation is "Alsace Grand Cru", followed by an indication of the vineyard site on the label. Although it was enacted in 1975, the first list of 25 sites was not published until 1983. A new regulation came into force in 1992, when 50 sites in 47 communes were classified. An important prerequisite for classification was, and still is, geological uniformity within a site. As this does not apply to Kaefferkopf, probably the most famous Alsace site, it was only taken into account from the 2007 vintage onwards after decades of discussion.
