Château Prince Pierre Napoléon Bonaparte - Calvi Argentella blanc 2023
92/100
RVF
"Unique cultivation and complex terroir for this superb Vermentino"
"Clear, bright gold. Pure, crystalline nose, beautiful Vermentinu brightness with dominant floral notes accompanied by a subtle woody touch, very fresh. The palate offers density, a lively, racy and dynamic structure. Mineral bitterness is present, with a welcome balance, and the woodiness will integrate well. A wine that is perfect as an aperitif and especially with seafood dishes. Ardeaseal stopper." (Le Guide RVF 2025)

About the estate:
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 now covers 34 hectares of vines. They started with a blank slate, virgin soil that they had to "clean up." Thanks in particular to their agronomist, but also to Emmanuel Gagnepain, the oenologist for some of Corsica's leading vineyards, they studied the soil carefully and each grape variety is in its rightful place. Demeter certification has been in effect since 2023.
