Domaine de Vaccelli is one of Corsica’s benchmark estates, based in the Taravo Valley, at the southern end of the Ajaccio appellation. Founded by the Courrèges family in the early 1960s, the domaine is now run by third-generation Gérard Courrèges, alongside his sister Nathalie. The vineyards sit on rugged granitic soils, planted predominantly with native Corsican varieties including Sciaccarellu and Vermentinu. Farming has been organic since 2008, with low yields and a strong focus on individual parcels. A Burgundy lover, Gérard brings a distinctly terroir-focused, parcel-by-parcel approach to Corsica, using foudres, barrels and other neutral vessels to allow each site to speak clearly. The wines are beautifully refined, combining Mediterranean character with freshness, minerality and remarkable finesse — firmly placing Vaccelli among the island’s most compelling producers. 

A beautifully perfumed expression of Sciaccarellu from Vaccelli’s organically farmed granitic vineyards in the Taravo Valley. Drawn from parcels of varying vine age and aged between stainless steel and demi-muids, it favours finesse and freshness over extraction.

 Wild strawberry, fresh cherry and blood orange mingle with peony, soft pepper and the herbs of the Corsican maquis. The palate is supple and almost weightless, with fine, powdery tannins and a distinctive granitic tension carrying the wine towards a long, gently saline finish. Elegant, savoury and unmistakably Corsican — a brilliant introduction to Vaccelli’s reds.
