"A must-see!"

“A lovely, well-balanced grand cru with aromas and flavors of sliced apple, pear, stone, and minerals. Medium-bodied. Fresh acidity and a savory finish. Just a hint of lime at the end.” (James Suckling 2019)

Food and Wine Pairings

Food and Wine Pairings

It pairs beautifully with any dish that calls for a full-bodied, dry, aromatic white wine: seafood and shellfish, grilled or smoked fish. Goat cheeses also pair very well with this wine...

Wine rated 16.5/20 (Benchmark wine)

Rated estate (2020 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

Good body on the palate, with power derived from the Osterberg marl, and a more straightforward, peppery finish. Still a bit young, but already showing great vibrancy.

About the estate:

Étienne Sipp manages this prominent 40-hectare estate located on the hillsides surrounding Ribeauvillé, which includes, among others, the grand cru vineyards of Kirchberg and Osterberg. The standout wines here are, of course, the Rieslings; the terroirs of the Ribeauvillé region are wonderfully suited to this grape variety, particularly in 2013, 2014, or 2017—wines that age perfectly over several decades, as the estate demonstrates by opening old bottles from the 1970s, even though viticulture at that time was far from adhering to today’s organic standards (the estate is now certified). At the entry level, the wines clearly express the briny character that the upcoming municipal appellations are expected to require.

Wine rated (2021 guide) 91/100

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the wine:

Straighter and more lively, the 2017 vintage is more compelling, driven by a subtle briny tension.

About the estate:

Passionate about his terroirs, Étienne Sipp cultivates a vast organic vineyard, including two lovely grands crus: the Kirchberg de Ribeauvillé and the Osterberg, vinified with aging in mind and always refined. The plot-by-plot work he has been carrying out for several years is highly commendable. We have a preference for the estate’s white wines, where Riesling reigns supreme. Given the vineyard’s potential, it could achieve even greater heights, and some of the wines are disappointing; regretfully, we are removing the star this year.
