This wine is a "pearl"! Considered by the wine maker as its top reference, thiswine is a blend of Sciaccarellu(80%) Minustellu and few % of Grenache (here called elegante).Grown in the southern part of the Corsica island, it reveals delicate flavours of ripe red fruuit, aromatic herbs. Garnet hue, slightly purplish, the taste is juicy, deep and delicate at the same time.

We had a mixed feeling when tasting this wine : nice dark red colour, nothing special on the nose, and a absence of balance in the mouth: on one side, the heat of alcohol very present (the vintage has been a warm one) and at the opposite some acidic marks. Overall we recognized the red fruits but remained unconvinced We'll comment on the next try later on

A secure value for a Blanc de Blancs. Bright golden hue, elegant mousse with tiny bubbles, it's a beautiful champagne, creamy with a touch of nuts, chalky Perfect companion during a lunch with very different flavours (including cheeses and chocolate mousse)

J'ai une question à vous poser, si possible: pourriez-vous, par hasard, me renseigner sur les circuits de vente des vins français, au-delà des différents sites Internet connus? Même les chaînes Telegram, WhatsApp ou assimilées, spécialisées dans les ventes privées, bref, pas les sites e-commerce habituels...
Il y aura sûrement aussi en France un ou plusieurs lieux virtuels où passionnés, collectionneurs et vendeurs non officiels vendront et achèteront leurs bouteilles, peut-être à des prix plus accessibles.
Merci beaucoup pour votre temps.

The Rhone valley certainly is a warmer clime as I look at local weather and see it is -2 degrees Fahrenheit (-19 degrees Celsius). We normally spend the winters at a second home on the gulf coast of Texas where it is a lot warmer. Unfortunately a Hurricane severely damaged our condo so me are stuck spending the winter in Alaska while they rebuild the condo.
Although your cellar is smaller than mine I think the ideal size would be midway... perhaps 1800-2000 bottles.
As it happens, the Rhone region is one of my favorites; both North and South.
Enjoy your your warm weather and good wine!!
