Our committee's review
With almost no rivals and awarded 3 stars in the RVF Guide, Yves Canarelli oversees some of the finest terroirs in Corsica. Since his first vintage in 1997, this relentless perfectionist has continuously improved, cultivating nearly 40 hectares biodynamically in Figari and Bonifacio, while focusing on the island's endemic grape varieties best suited to his vision and terroir.
A model winemaker, Canarelli produces some of the most spectacular grands crus in the Mediterranean, known for their unmatched freshness and saline expressions. His impeccable range is writing the finest chapters in Corsican viticulture.
It’s a pleasure and an honor to introduce the latest vintages from the Clos in three different styles. These three stunning cuvées are sure to impress!
The 2023 Corse Figari Rosé stands out with its unique style, far from the typical Provençal rosés, fully embracing its own identity. Refreshing and crisp, this rosé is perfect both as an aperitif and at the table, offering vibrant notes of pink berries and stone fruits. On the palate, it reveals an elegant, lively, and refreshing character, with a delicate, lasting finish. It pairs beautifully with seafood, sea urchins, or fried fish, making it ideal from the first sip. Rated 92/100 by RVF and 93/100 by the Selection Committee.
A faithful ambassador of the estate's style, the 2022 Corse Figari Red, composed of 40% Niellucciu and 40% Sciaccarellu, delivers a deep and dense wine with impressive maturity. It opens with notes of cherry, spice, Sichuan pepper, and hints of wild herbs and dried grasses. Though youthful, it already shows great character, with high-quality tannins and ripe, refined fruit that’s perfectly balanced and fresh, ensuring an easy-to-drink finish. The subtle oak aging in large barrels and demi-muids is well-integrated. This wine has the potential to age for over a decade. A remarkable Corsican red that is both complex and refreshing. Rated 94/100 by RVF and 93-94/100 by the Selection Committee.
The 2023 Corse Figari White, made from pure Vermentinu grown on granite soils and aged in large Stockinger barrels and demi-muids without new oak, is an elite cuvée! Dynamic, fresh, and beautifully tense, this elegant white opens with notes of citrus and lemon, showcasing the perfect balance of maturity and freshness that Vermentinu offers, with a subtle hint of vanilla from the aging process. Its fine texture, pure and complex structure, reveals a crystalline clarity with refined saline and almond flavors. A delightful white wine that pairs perfectly with grilled fish. Rated 93/100 by RVF and the Selection Committee.
