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 rare single-parcel whites, Chioso Novo is 100% Vermentinu grafted onto old Grenache vines, grown on south-east-facing granitic soils. Hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts, it spends 12 months in foudres and demi-muids before further ageing in stainless steel.

Fresh pear, citrus zest and white flowers lead the nose, joined by fennel, fresh almond and wild maquis herbs. The palate has impressive depth and texture, yet remains beautifully taut, with vibrant acidity and a pronounced saline, granitic core. Refined, energetic and remarkably persistent — a serious, ageworthy expression of Corsican Vermentinu.
