Note : RVF 14,5/20
Les terroirs de Ribeauvillé offre une mosaïque étonnante de sols donnant des vins aux caractères très différents. La famille Sipp s'emploie alors a en préserver toutes les spécificités, comme dans cette cuvée Riesling Steinacker issue majoritairement de graves. Elle se révèle avec un fruit explosif en bouche, sur des notes d'anis et de fruits très mûrs. Un vin puissant et équilibré qui devrait s'enrichir d'une belle note minérale en vieillissant. Une expression empreinte de typicité !

Domaine Louis Sipp

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated domain (2020 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that sets the standard in its sector)
About the domain :
Étienne Sipp manages this 40-hectare estate on the hills surrounding Ribeauvillé, which includes the Kirchberg and Osterberg grands crus. The big bottles here are of course the Rieslings, as the terroirs of the Ribeauvillé ban are wonderfully suited to this grape variety, particularly in 2013, 2014 or 2017, wines that age perfectly over several decades, as the estate can demonstrate by opening old bottles from the 1970s, bearing in mind that at the time viticulture was far from complying with today's organic canons (the estate is now certified). In the entry-level range, the wines express the saline character that will soon be demanded by the new communal appellations.

Rated domain (2021 guide) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list, and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Passionate about his terroirs, Étienne Sipp cultivates a vast organic vineyard, including two fine grands crus: Kirchberg de Ribeauvillé and Osterberg, vinified in a spirit of ageing, always refined. The parcel-by-parcel work carried out over the last few years is highly appreciated. We prefer the estate's whites, where Riesling is king. The vineyard's heritage could take us even further, and some of the wines are disappointing: with regret, we are withdrawing the star this year.
