Alsace Riesling AOC Grand Cru 'Kirchberg de Ribeauville' 2018 (750 ml.) Jean Sipp
Grand Cru 'Kirchberg de Ribeauville' by Domaine Jean Sipp is a pure Riesling born in the Ribeauvillé area, in Alsace. This terroir benefits from an exposure that gives it excellent sunshine. Clayey and marly soils, often very stony, support this vineyard located at an altitude between 270 and 350 m. The vines are grown according to the Alsatian tradition and in organic viticulture. The refinement on the fine lees is carried out until bottling. Wine with superb minerality accompanied by a long and balanced acidity, characterized by an exotic note of lime and grapefruit. Full and concentrated palate, superb and persistent aromas, evolution that mixes salinity and a light sweetness on a very ripe fruit. A delight.

THE COMPANY
Jean-Guillaume took over the reins of the estate in 2014. After his training at the Lycée Agricole de Rouffach, he followed internships with numerous winemakers including Domaines Zind-Humbrecht in Alsace, Olivier Leflaive in Burgundy, Marcel Guigal at 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. First of all in the vineyards, where he developed the cultivation of the soil and affirmed his commitment to the environment. His efforts were rewarded by the HVE certification (High Environmental Value in 2019) and the Organic certification in 2021. In the cellar he produces drier wines than his ancestors, of beautiful complexity and with watchmaking precision. He chose single parcel vinification, and it was following this choice that we saw the appearance of Riesling Grossberg and Riesling Haguenau, but also of a dry Pinot Grigio Hagel.
