"A single-vineyard wine that expresses the unique characteristics of the terroir and this Corsican grape variety"

“The Monte Bianco 2023 could well be considered the perfect wine of our tasting. It is a pure Sciaccarellu, grown on granite soils and enhanced by aging that began in 2008. With this 2023 vintage, Jean-Charles Abbatucci has created a wine of immense delicacy and great complexity, with notes of white and red fruits on the nose, dominated by kirsch and cooked strawberries. On the palate, it is powerful yet of unparalleled finesse, supported by subtle, refined tannins that give the wine its structure. The mouthfeel is harmonious and full-bodied, with a level of purity rarely achieved. The aromas lean toward lychee and white pepper, and the wine has a long finish. It will gain aromatic depth after 23 years in the bottle.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2025)

Rated estate (2020 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

In this historic heartland of the Ajaccio wine region—whose unique collection of old local white grape varieties has raised awareness of the moral and cultural obligation to diversify the grape varieties across all of Corsica—Jean-Charles Abbatucci practices impeccable viticulture with infectious generosity. The recent vintages possess the suppleness, natural character, and smoothness one expects of them, and have shown marked improvement in consistency thanks to the close collaboration between the owner and a remarkable consulting oenologist, Emmanuel Gagnepain. The “Faustine” cuvée shines with pure finesse, and the grand cuvées—“Collection,” “Ministre,” “Général,” and “Diplomate”—offer the refined complexity of their pioneering blend of grape varieties. New cuvées—“Monte-Bianco,” “Alte-Rosso,” and “Valle-di-Nero”—are beginning to be produced, but the estate did not send them to the tasting. That will be for next year.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 93/100

Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience.)

About the wine:

Carmine red, low in color intensity, brilliant. A decoction of stone fruits, very refined, combining purity and power; the fruit notes are reminiscent of ripe cherries and raspberries, with a touch of myrtle and spices; the oak aging is well integrated into the Sciaccarellu. The palate is warm, with a long-lasting finish that expresses the variety’s finesse, the energy of the granite soils, and a complex interplay of flavors. 93–95/100

About the estate:

The history of this estate began in the 20th century with a visionary, Antoine Abbatucci, the founder of this vineyard nursery—a true repository of native Corsican grape varieties. Jean-Charles Abbatucci, Antoine’s son, took the estate to the next level (massal selections, rigorous biodynamic practices, rootstocks adapted to the soil and climate, and more). The entry-level wines are remarkable; in the magnificent blends, each grape variety contributes its own aromas, freshness, body, or texture: the wines are easy to drink and refined, thanks to the estate’s refusal to intervene excessively, and the aging process has been refined through the use of large oak casks and concrete “eggs.”
