The vignerons represented here share their distant ancestors’ respect for these prized terroirs. While the means have changed thanks to centuries of technological advancements and other evolutions of winemaking practices, the desire remains to translate these very special sites into wines of exceptional complexity and aging potential. The following six bottles from Alsace and Burgundy are a testament to these grand cru terroirs and the generations of tradition they embody. –Anthony Lynch
