DVD Wine Route No. 4: The Wines of Alsace by Robert Tinlot | Montparnasse

Protected by the Vosges Mountains, Alsace benefits from a dry and sunny climate that is conducive to vine cultivation. On its well-exposed slopes, traditional grape varieties such as Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, and even Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer, Chasselas, and Muscat produce wines with incomparable aromas. The unity and personality of Alsace are revealed through its men and women who have shaped their land: hillsides, roads, villages, and cellars are the harmonious expression of it. Some lead us into poetic comparisons, while others practice biodynamic farming. As for the chef, in the warm atmosphere of a Winstub, he brilliantly prepares a Baeckeoffe with pork feet and three different meats.
