Alsace AOC Riesling Grand Cru 'Kirchberg de Ribeauville' 2018 (750 ml.) Jean Sipp
The Grand Cru Kirchberg de Ribeauvillé 2018 by Domaine Jean Sipp is a pure Riesling from organic farming, grown between 270 and 350 m on very stony marl and limestone soils, giving structure and deep minerality. The sun-exposed terroir ensures balanced ripeness and rich fruit. Extended aging on fine lees until bottling adds creaminess, complexity, and notable aging potential. The 2018 vintage, warm but tempered by cool nights, produced intense, generous wines with vivid acidity and remarkable balance. Aromas of lime, grapefruit, peach, and flint. On the palate: broad, saline, persistent, with an elegant, slightly sweet finish. Perfect with shellfish, refined fish, white meats, and aged cheeses.

THE ESTATE
Jean-Guillaume took over the estate in 2014. After his training at the Lycée Agricole de Rouffach, he interned with several winemakers including Domaines Zind-Humbrecht in Alsace, Olivier Leflaive in Burgundy, Marcel Guigal in Ampuis in the Rhône, and Domaine Mont-Redon in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. He also approached other New World vineyards, such as Chile, Argentina, South Africa, and New Zealand. Primarily in the vineyards, where he developed soil management and affirmed his commitment to the environment. His efforts were rewarded with HVE certification (High Environmental Value in 2019) and Organic certification in 2021. In the cellar, he vinifies drier wines than his predecessors, with beautiful complexity and clock-like precision. He chose single parcel vinification, and it was following this choice that we saw the emergence of Riesling Grossberg and Riesling Haguenau, as well as a dry Pinot Grigio Hagel.
