Domaine de Vaccelli Granit Blanc 2023

Grape: Vermentino
Vintage: 2023
Type: White

Domaine de Vaccelli is located in Cognocoli-Monticchi , Corsica . The family estate was purchased in the 1960s by the Courrèges family, after Algerian independence. Its owner, Gérard Courrèges (son of Alain Courrèges), has been producing wines under the AOC Ajaccio, Vin de Pays de l'Île de Beauté and Vin de France appellations since the 1970s. Today, the vineyard covers 27 hectares, planted with numerous grape varieties, a large proportion of which are indigenous grape varieties . The vineyard has been managed using certified organic farming methods since 2019.

The Granit plot comes from vines 26 years old on average, sitting at the highest part of the hill, facing the sea which brings salinity to the wine.

A nose of citrus, lemon oil, yellow fruit, chamomile and iodine infused with sharp minerality. The palate is charged with intensity, which evolves as the wine breathes, giving way to a sensation of beautiful length and a subtle hint of smoke. A stunning cuvée to cellar for up to 10 years.
