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 precise expression of Corsican Vermentinu, sourced from some of Domaine de Vaccelli’s cooler parcels on deep granitic soils in the Taravo Valley. Direct pressed and fermented with indigenous yeasts, the wine spends 12 months on its lees in demi-muids before a further seven months in stainless steel. 

Ripe citrus and orchard fruit meet wild fennel, orange blossom and subtle Mediterranean herbs. The palate is ample yet wonderfully tense, with a fine saline core, bright freshness and a long, gently aniseed finish. Textural, mineral and full of energy — a brilliant introduction to Vaccelli’s distinctive style.
