Calvi blanc, Argentella, Prince Pierre Napoléon Bonaparte - 2022

This is the story of a crazy project created by two brothers on the west coast of Corsica, facing the bay of Argentella. It is one of only two estates on the island to be given the 'château' designation. 35 hectares of Corsican grape varieties have been planted after meticulous analysis on virgin granite soils. The Argentella cuvée has hints of sea spray and citrus fruit, and is crisp, full-bodied and salty on the palate, with a great deal of bitterness. Guide Vert RVF: 91/100

Technique

Viticulture

Granite arenas with a few veins of clay. 7 different types of granite are present in the different plots. Vines planted at a density of 4,400 vines per hectare. Double cordon Royat pruning. The vines are farmed organically and biodynamically.

Oenology

Hand-picked plot-by-plot harvest in 10 kg crates. Sorting of the harvest in the vineyard and in the cellar. The harvest is stored for 24 hours in a cool place (8°C). Part of the vinification is carried out by direct pressing of the grapes without de-stemming, and the rest by skin maceration after de-stemming. Static settling for 24 to 48 hours. Alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Aged on the lees for 7 months in 3 different containers: concrete eggs, half 600-litre muid and stainless steel vats.

Suggestions for accompaniment

Roast gamberoni - Sea bass with artichokes - Monkfish in bacon bard.

Prince Pierre Napoléon Bonaparate

Le domaine Impérial, créé en 1850 par le Prince Pierre Napoléon Bonaparte, neveu de l’Empereur Napoléon 1er, se situe en Corse sur la côte occidentale, face à la baie de l’Argentella et la prestigieuse réserve naturelle de Scandola. Il bénéficie d’une forte influence maritime conférant fraîcheur et salinité à ses vins. Prince Pierre Napoléon est également l’un des deux domaines à pouvoir bénéficier de la dénomination “château” en Corse. Sur un total de 200 hectares de terres, 35 hectares de vignes ont été plantés par les frères Grisoli après un minutieux travail d’analyse pédologique sur des sols vierges, d’origine granitique. La base ampélographique du domaine est composée de 12 cépages endémiques. Le domaine est conduit en agriculture biologique et selon les principes de la biodynamie. Cinq différentes cuvées sont produites et elles nous ont ébloui par leur raffinement et leur race lors du dernier salon Wine Paris. Nous prédisons à ce duo un avenir qui pourrait ressembler à celui du domaine Comte Abbatucci…
