With a priceless ampelographic collection built up by his father Antoine in the 1960s, Jean-Charles Abbatucci is the guardian of the endemic grape varieties and wine-making traditions of Corsica. This variety of grapes (with melodious names: Carcajolo Bianco, Paga Debbiti, Rossola Brandinca...) coupled with a sumptuous terroir of 14 ha full hillside south of Ajaccio and a demanding viticulture (biodynamic since 2000) explains the special place of Domaine Abbatucci within the Corsican producers. It is with the white wines, certainly among the most beautiful of the Mediterranean basin, that this domain has built up an unequalled reputation.

Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

One of the two great vintages of the domain, dominated by vermentino and supplemented by 10 autochthonous grape varieties in varying proportions, is an exceptional wine with good ageing potential (10 years and more): the Diplomate is full-bodied, sapid and tasty but restrained. For this wine the whole aromatic palette of the Corsican scrubland: citrus fruits (citron, kumquat...), verbena, thyme, rosemary, fennel, anise, wild mint, jasmine, pine nuts, dry stones...

Vineyard of 8.5 ha on the Côte des Bar (Aube), a terroir of choice for pinot noir. It is the 5th generation (Roland Piollot) who converted this family estate to organic farming, certified since 2014.

5 mono-varietal cuvées, aged on laths between 4 and 6 years, make up the Piollot range: Come des Tallants plays on roundness and vinosity while Champs Rayés displays with distinction a more lively and incisive character. The rare 100% pinot blanc Colas Robin is a synthesis of richness and elegance, while Mepetit, a pure pinot meunier with its typical raspberry aromas, is the fruitiest, most appealing and longest in the mouth. Finally, Les Protelles is a rosé of maceration, 100% pinot noir.

In 2011, the Descours family took back in hand this old Maison (1851) in order to make it find its XIXth century chandelier. In less than 5 years, the bet is won, already praised by the critics: "Charles Heidsieck amply deserves to be considered as one of the most brilliant current brands" for Mr. Bettane, "Heidsieck returns to the forefront with a complete range of wines of high level" for the Revue du Vin de France.

Predominantly Chardonnay, the 'Charles' style is based on elegance and above all a great freshness tempered by a long maturation (from 5 years for the Brut Réserve to 15 years for the Blanc des Millénaires) in their famous crayères near Reims. For the whole range, no trace of oxidation, no rancio, only an extreme melted and suave finesse. Great art!

Pierre and Sophie Larmandier are among the precursors of biodynamic wines. On their 16 ha vineyard in the south of the Côte des Blancs, they produce champagnes of exemplary naturalness and frankness. Very low (or even no) dosage because they are made from perfectly ripe grapes, their vintages express with precision the aromatic intensity and the delicacy of the greatest chardonnays of Champagne. In short, Larmandier-Bernier obtains with its chardonnays what Égly-Ouriet achieves with its pinots noirs.
