The Louis Sipp wine estate started with the
acquisition of vineyards on the slopes of Kirchberg hill (now a Grand Cru)
towards the end of the First World War and it soon received awards for its wines
in the 1920s. A family firm with the fourth generation having entered the
business, the estate is now run on organic principles, with 70% of vines being
the 4 noble white varieties and Pinot Noir, and the rest Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner
and even Chasselas. Their vineyards are mainly situated on the best hillsides of
Ribeauville (as well as at nearby Bergheim and Hunawihr), and 12% are situated
in the Grand Crus of Kirchberg, Geisberg and Osterberg.
