Domaine Agapé
ドメーヌ・アガペ
Organic Grand Cru Rieslings from Riquewihr, Alsace
Founded in 2007 by Vincent Sipp in the fairytale village of Riquewihr, Domaine Agapé was born when Sipp left his family's historic Domaine Sipp Mack to pursue his own, more personal style of winemaking. The estate farms roughly 13 hectares across prime Alsace terroirs, including three prestigious Grand Crus — Rosacker, Osterberg, and Schoenenbourg — long managed with sustainable practices and certified organic since 2020. Sipp's meticulous, low-intervention approach produces dry, strikingly pure and mineral wines, particularly his celebrated Grand Cru Rieslings, that have earned acclaim from Revue des Vins de France, Guide Hachette des Vins, and Guide Bettane & Desseauve.
