Founded by the Courrèges family in the early 1960s, the domaine is now run by third-generation Gérard Courrèges, alongside his sister Nathalie. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe 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. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eA 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. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOne of Vaccelli’s most distinctive whites, Quartz is a field blend of four indigenous Corsican varieties, Carcaghjolu Biancu, Ghjenuvese, Cudiverta and Riminese,  grown together on granitic soils scattered with quartz.
