The Sipps have been winegrowers from father to son for 4 generations. Today, it is Etienne who manages the family vineyard (Ecocert certified in organic agriculture) of 40 ha which spreads out on the slopes (often steeply sloping) within a radius of 3 km around Ribeauvillé. The property is located in the former Cour des Nobles de Pflixbourg (a car park is available all year round), in a house dating from 1512. The cellars are leaning against the east and south ramparts of the old town of Ribeauvillé. The estate benefits from a mosaic of terroirs and has plots of land on the three Grands Crus of Ribeauvillé: Kirchberg, Geisberg and Osterberg. Étienne Sipp produces some very nice wines in several ranges: Vins de Cépage (young and dashing), Vins Nature's (organic), Vins de Réserve (full-bodied wines offered for sale after a rest in the cellar), Crus et Lieux-dits, Grands Crus, Vendanges Tardives, Sélection de Grains Nobles, Crémants d'Alsace. To be tasted in particular during your visit to the Domaine Louis Sipp cellar: Riesling Grand Cru Kirchberg de Ribeauvillé 2017, Pinot Noir Grossberg 2015 (aged in oak barrels), Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Osterberg 2017, Crémant d'Alsace Blanc de Noirs. Domaine Louis Sipp is classified three stars in the Bettane & Desseauve Wine Guide 2020.
