Domaine Louis Sipp
ドメーヌ・ルイ・シップ
Organic Grand Cru Rieslings from Ribeauvillé since 1920
Founded in 1920 by Louis Sipp in the historic wine town of Ribeauvillé, Domaine Louis Sipp is one of Alsace's most established family estates, now guided by Étienne Sipp, a chemist by training who began converting the 40-hectare domaine to organic viticulture in 2005 (certified since 2008). The estate holds prized parcels in Grand Cru Kirchberg de Ribeauvillé, known for its steep, south-facing slopes and powerful, dry wines, and the cooler, clay-rich Grand Cru Osterberg. Guided by a philosophy of hygiene, simplicity, and gentleness, Louis Sipp crafts classically dry, long-lived Rieslings alongside aromatic Gewurztraminers and prized late-harvest wines (Vendanges Tardives, Sélection de Grains Nobles).
