Calvi, Lucien Bonaparte, Prince Pierre Napoléon Bonaparte - 2021

Dare we say it: this is the most Corsican wine on the estate! The vines are located in a very wild part of the estate, close to eucalyptus trees, and the wine smells as much of the maquis as you'd expect. On the palate, it's just as aromatic, powerful, rich, even more Mediterranean than the estate's other crus, with plenty of character and conviction. A testimonial wine. Guide Vert RVF: 92/100

Domain

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…
