Château Prince Pierre Napoléon Bonaparte - Calvi Argentella blanc 2023
92/100
RVF
"Singular ageing and complex terroir for this superb Vermentino".
"Bright, clear gold. A pure, crystalline nose, with a lovely vermentinu sparkle and dominant florality, accompanied by a subtle, fresh woody touch. Dense on the palate, with an invigorating, racy, dynamic structure. The mineral bitters are present, but the balance is good, and the woodiness will integrate. A wine at ease as an aperitif and especially at the table with seafood dishes. Bouché Ardeaseal". (Le Guide RVF 2025)

About the domain :
Jean-Raphaël Racine-Grisoli and his brother Jean-Vincent have revived the vineyard of Corsica's only château, and the southernmost in the Calvi appellation, since purchasing it in 2017. Planting began in 2018, and today there are 34 hectares of vines. They started with a blank sheet of paper, virgin soils, which they had to "de-make". Thanks in particular to their agronomist, but also to Emmanuel Gagnepain, the oenologist of some of Corsica's leading vineyards, they have studied the soils carefully, and each grape variety is in its place. Demeter certification has been effective since 2023.
