OSMOSE 2017 (Domaine Jean Sipp)

VINE AGE: 25 years.

LOCATION: single-plot cuvée from Ribeauvillé. Its name defines the mutual influence of the expertise shared by the father and son who vinified it together.

EXPOSURE: N/A.

TERROIR: soil composed of blue and yellow clays dating from the TRIASSIC era. In addition to the clay present in the soil, there are magnesium carbonates (dolomite) and calcium, iron and manganese oxides, as well as quartz sand necessary for soil aeration. The complexity, which varies according to the type of sediment, creates the richness of this ideal terroir for a grape variety as demanding as Pinot Noir, allowing it to fully benefit from the soil's minerals.

"Here is an Alsace Pinot Noir that displays a lovely personality: elegant and expressive, the initial vanilla and spicy notes give way to delicious aromas of red and black fruits with a subtle hint of roasted coffee. Boasting a fluid, juicy texture on the palate, it is remarkably refined. A true success!"
