Tasting notes
A mixed case of 12 bottles pairing two Patrimonio cuvées from Domaine Giudicelli. The White 2023 is delicate, pure and intense, with great energy and lovely floral and citrus notes, fermented in large Stockinger foudres and aged on its lees for 11 months in stainless steel. The Red 2021 is an elegant, savory Corsican red with aromas of black cherry, wild maquis herbs and subtle spice, aged in large oak foudres for depth, fine structure and a mineral-driven finish.
More About The Winery
Muriel's parents were teachers; she had to learn everything about wine from school. It is where she became friends with Antoine Arena, a great winemaker in Patrimonio. In 1996, Arena called Muriel and told her about a retiring winegrower in the region. That’s how Muriel bought her first 5 hectares of vines and launched her own domaine on the island.
She made her first vintage in 1997 and she is now one of the leading winemakers in Corsica. Muriel works 10ha of vines alongside her husband in the Campo Gallo sub-region of Patrimonio – an area noted for its pockets of green and red clay, granite, schist and limestone. Her vineyards have been certified biodynamic since 2012, and the work in the vineyard as well as in the cellar is based on the lunar calendar.
The wines are neither filtered nor fined, and sulphur is used in homeopathic doses at bottling. All this work of respect for the grapes and the wine gives clean, fine and lively wines. The reds are racy, supple and fruity. The whites are chiselled, precise and clean.
Domaine Giudicelli produces wines in tiny quantities. Interest in Corsica’s wine landscape is skyrocketing. Already enormously popular with sommeliers in Paris or NYC, Domaine Giudicelli’s wines are now among the island’s most sought after.
