Vaccelli wine estate

The Vaccelli wine estate, located in the Taravo valley in southern Corsica, is a benchmark in Corsican winegrowing. Founded in the 1960s by Roger Courrèges, this family-run wine estate quickly rose to the top of Corsican viticulture thanks to an unwavering commitment to excellence and a passion handed down from generation to generation.

Today, Gérard Courrèges, supported by his sister Nathalie, continues this tradition by bringing to light the extraordinary potential of the granite terroirs of Cognocoli-Monticchi, just a few kilometers from the Gulf of Porto Pollo. Thanks to meticulous plot selection and a resolutely organic viticultural approach, Gérard has been able to reveal the richness and nuances of his vines, producing wines with a strong identity and unique character.

This passionate viticulturist has made his mark on the Vaccelli wine estate by focusing on emblematic Corsican grape varieties such as Sciaccarellu and Vermentinu, which he cultivates with exemplary rigor. His method, far from conventional, favorsminimalist winemaking, where each cuvée is a faithful reflection of its terroir of origin. This artisanal, nature-friendly approach lends Vaccelli wines a rare authenticity, making them among the most sought-after on the island.

The wine estate's flagship cuvées include reds and whites of great finesse, combining aromatic complexity, minerality and depth. These wines, a true tribute to the Corsican soil, have won over the most demanding sommeliers and are now featured on the menus of the world's finest restaurants.

The recognition of the Vaccelli wine estate does not stop at Corsica's borders. Indeed, Gérard Courrèges' wines are now celebrated far beyond the island, compared to the finest crus of Burgundy and the Rhone Valley. Each bottle embodies the savoir-faire of a family devoted to the vine, and each tasting is an invitation to discover the authentic soul of Corsica.

The treasures of the Vaccelli wine estates are true "vins d'auteur" and jewels of contemporary viticulture, which today radiate far beyond the Isle of Beauty. Whether you're an enlightened wine connoisseur or a curious neophyte, the cuvées from the Vaccelli wine estate will offer you an unforgettable sensory experience, between tradition and modernity, sea and mountain.
