Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
Yves Canarelli cultivates more than 30 hectares using biodynamic methods in the Figari and Bonifacio regions, selecting from among the Corsican grape varieties best suited to his taste and terroir. The new winery allows for winemaking in a variety of containers: amphorae, concrete eggs, barrels, and casks. After creating his grand cru, Tarra di Sognu, on the limestone terroir of Bonifacio, the big news is the clearing and planting of a superb new vineyard by and for Simon, his son, who shows promise as a winemaker and builder every bit as gifted as his father. A flawless year all around.

Rated estate (2024 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 estate:
Yves Canarelli has established himself as the leading winemaker in southern Corsica, with a passion for ampelography (the old grape varieties Biancu Gentile, Carcaghjolu Neru, and Minustellu have been replanted). In 2009, he acquired a plot of pre-phylloxera vines near the village of Orasi (the “Tarra d’Orasi” cuvée) and produces two superb wines in large clay amphorae (Amphora). In partnership with the renowned Corsican sommelier Patrick Fioramonti, Yves Canarelli replanted Bonifacio’s first vineyard on a plateau overlooking the town, rich in a type of limestone rare on the island: thus Tarra di Sognu was born. The wines produced there reveal an immense sense of terroir and gain in complexity as the vines mature. With the arrival of his son, Simon-Paul, they are writing the finest chapters in the island’s new winemaking history.
