Known for acclaimed Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer, Alsace has been garnering an increasing amount of attention for its Pinot Noir, which accounts for only about 10 percent of its total production. Besides the fact that it is good in and of itself, one of the reasons Pinot Noir from this region in northeast France is gaining traction is the rising prices of its sibling from Burgundy.
