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. 

One of Vaccelli’s benchmark whites, Granit is 100% Vermentinu from organically farmed vines rooted in pure granitic soils. Direct pressed and fermented with native yeasts, it is aged for around 12 months on its lees in 400L barrels and demi-muids before further resting in tank and bottle.

Ripe pear, citrus and white flowers meet fresh almond and subtle smoky notes. The palate is generous and textural yet beautifully tense, with vibrant acidity, pronounced granitic salinity and a long, mineral finish. A serious, finely balanced Vermentinu that combines Mediterranean richness with remarkable freshness and precision.
