Yes, it's French.

I usually associate "cru" with a wine vintage or terroir - which is what I am assuming they are going for here; more commonly, I think, it's raw. There are other meanings though.

What's in an appellation anyway ?

A system of mountains in eastern North America. They were first formed roughly 480 million years ago during the Ordovician Period. They once reached elevations similar to those of the Alps and the Rocky Mountains before experiencing natural erosion....

WTF.

@jaybe seems to be doing a little mishearing, and a little lateral thinking, and one would have to follow the appellation trail to catch up. scenic, though…

I think he was being tongue-in-cheek. It gave me a little chuckle.
