Alsace Riesling AOC Grand Cru 'Kirchberg de Ribeauville' 2018 (750 ml.) Jean Sipp
The Grand Cru 'Kirchberg de Ribeauville' from Domaine Jean Sipp is a pure Riesling that originates from the Ribeauvillé area in Alsace. This terroir benefits from an exposure that provides excellent sunlight. Clay and marl soils, often very stony, support this vineyard situated at an altitude of between 270 and 350 m. The vines are cultivated according to Alsatian tradition and in organic viticulture. The aging on fine lees is carried out until bottling. A wine with superb minerality accompanied by a long and balanced acidity, characterized by an exotic note of lime and grapefruit. Full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, with superb and persistent aromas, the evolution blends salinity and a slight sweetness over very ripe fruit. A delight.

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.
