French region on the German border (6)

I believe the answer is:

alsace

(Other definitions for alsace that I've seen before include "Region of France, capital Strasbourg" , "Region of northeastern France famous for its wines" , "Region of northeastern France noted for its wines" , "French region bordering Germany and Switzerland" , "area of France" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
