The Domain
Nestled in the Taravu Valley near Ajaccio, Domaine de Vaccelli is a benchmark of modern Corsican winemaking.
Established in the 1960s and led today by Gérard Courrèges and his family, the estate has earned acclaim for its meticulous organic viticulture and its focus on Corsica's indigenous grape varieties.
Vaccelli shows the full potential of the island's vineyards, and how distinctive Corsican wine can be.
The Style
The domaine works with Sciaccarellu, Niellucciu and Vermentinu. The granite soils and Mediterranean climate give the wines a freshness and mineral-driven elegance that sets them apart.
Cuvées such as 'Granit', 'Quartz' and 'Chioso Novo' range from structured, age-worthy reds with red fruit and wild herbs to textured, aromatic whites with a saline finish.
