Amazing expression of sciaccarellu, complex and elegant as a premier cru chambolle- musigny. Superb finesse, endless. Fantastic effort by Gerard Courrèges. — 9 years ago

Pleasant wine. Black dry fruit flavors. Lots medicine cabinet aroma and flavors. Overall pleasant though. Tannins are all softened. Acidity is medium to low. Blend: 90% Merlot and 10% Malbec. Very easy to drink. Old wood aromas and lots of funk. Reminds me of a low level Brunello. 13.5% abv — 9 years ago

1st Jan 2023. Very unusual wine. 15% abv, but quite light. Complex. Energetic.

Domaine de Vaccelli is located in Cognocoli-Monticchi , Corsica . The family estate was purchased in the 1960s by the Courrèges family, after Algeria's independence. Its owner, Gérard Courrèges (son of Alain Courrèges) has been producing wines under the AOC Ajaccio, Vin de Pays de l'Île de Beauté but also Vin de France wines since the 1970s. Today, the vineyard covers 27 hectares planted with many varieties including many of the indigenous varieties of Corsica. The vineyard is run in certified organic farming .

The cuvée Sirocco Rouge is a blend of two indigenous varieties: Sciaccarellu and Elegànte . The wine is aged for 12 months in concrete eggs for 1/3, and the rest in demi-muids , partly new. Sirocco has a cellar potential of 8 to 10 years.

In mouth, it is a silky wine, with finesse and a nice length. There are also floral notes, black fruits and sweet spices aromas.
