CLOS RIBEAUPIERRE 2009 (Domaine Jean Sipp)

TERROIR

Acquired in 1965 by the Sipp family, this 1.5 ha terroir belonged to the Seigneurial lands of the Ribeaupierre family. Under the protection of the Château de Saint-Ulrich built on the rocky summit that dominates it, the Clos Ribeaupierre has vertiginous slopes exceeding sometimes 40% and a poor and stony granitic soil on which the Pinot Gris vines opens up.

WINEGROWING & WINEMAKING

The overripe grapes are harvested manually, their fermentation is slow, and the must is aged for 9 months on fine lees, in oak barrels for one part and in casks for the other part. All dressed in gold, this wine offers a rich and powerful nose, and a tasty and fresh palate.

Sugar rate: 45.6 g/l
