The Louis SIPP parcels of land are situated in the geological fracture zone of Ribeauvillé. They constitute a territory which is highly geologically fragmented. They are above all areas with hard chalk, clay and marl from the Liassic and Triassic periods, sandstone clay, and calcareous, chalky conglomerates from the Oligocene period. The area is also characterized by silt-laden deposits, originally loessal, and by glacis and sandy alluvium in the valley and on the plain. PINOT NOIR is also found in soils which are relatively heavy, (where clay is present), chalky, early fruiting and bearing a low yield. A high level of maturity as well as perfectly sound grapes are necessary to bring out the color and the fruit of this grape variety more used to grow in more southern regions.
A beautiful deep and intense red color with glints of purple (a sign of its youth). A nose of red and black fruits. A good structure, fruity, ample and long on the palate. A wine in full phase of development toward a fine state of balance.
An ideal accompaniment to cold meats and salads, poultry and white meat, red meat and game, and finally with cheese.
To drink immediately, but its tannins will become rounder with ageing.
