Château Prince Pierre Napoléon Bonaparte

Prince Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte Castle
In 2017, Jean-Raphaël and Jean-Vincent Racine-Grisoli restored Château Prince Pierre Napoléon Bonaparte to its former glory. The Imperial estate, founded in 1850 by Prince Pierre Napoléon Bonaparte, nephew of Emperor Napoleon I, is located in Corsica on the western coast facing Argentella Bay and the prestigious Scandola Nature Reserve. It benefits from a strong maritime influence that imparts freshness and a hint of saltiness to its wines. It is one of only two estates in Corsica authorized to use the “château” designation. 

Out of a total of 200 hectares of land, 35 hectares of vineyards were planted in 2018 on virgin granite soils, following a meticulous analysis conducted with the assistance of consulting oenologist Emmanuel Gagnepain. The vineyards of Château Prince Pierre Napoléon Bonaparte are cultivated using organic farming methods and following biodynamic principles, with Demeter certification obtained in 2023. 

The ampelographic base of Château Prince Pierre Napoléon Bonaparte consists of 12 grape varieties native to Corsica: Sciaccarello, Vermentino, Genovese, Codivarta, Rossola Brandica, Bianco Gentile, Rimenese, Malvasia nera, Carcajolo Nero, Minustello, Murescono, Nielluccio…
