Lorraine

Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Lorraine" Show in wein.plus:places

The wine-growing region is located in north-east France between Champagne and northern Alsace, close to the German border. The area dates back to the historic Duchy of Lorraine. From 1960 to 2015, Lorraine formed its own region with Metz as its capital. From 2016, the Grand Est (Greater East) region was established with Strasbourg as its capital, comprising the Alsace, Lorraine and Champagne-Ardenne regions.

History

The historical landscape was once a flourishing wine-growing region. Even the Celts (Gauls) cultivated vines here. In 1890, the area under vines still totalled 30,000 hectares, 6,000 of which were around the town of Toul. Phylloxera destroyed a large part of it. After new vines were planted, the grape must was bought up by wholesalers in Champagne and processed into champagne. This was stopped in 1907 after the creation of the "Champagne" appellation. The subsequent planting of inferior hybrids and the devastation caused by the battles of the First World War (1914-1918) and industrialisation brought about a total decline in viticulture.
