Jean-Charles Abbatucci is a prominent personality in Ajaccio, with a family history dating back to the French Revolution. His name is visible on various landmarks, street corners, and wine bars in the capital city. Jean-Charles is a passionate supporter of Corsican culture and advocates for biodynamic viticulture. Hence, he is renowned for producing exceptional wines on this remote and rugged island.

Faustine Blanc is 40 year old Vermentinu vines. Its scent is a beautiful mix of white flowers and the freshness of a wet stream. The taste is dominated by notes of lemon oil, mineral flavors, and a hint of Provençal herbs, with a hint of pine needles and sea spray. The texture is ripe and satisfying, with a fine mineral cut and a salty finish. This extremely age-worthy white softens and develops complexity over time, so we are thrilled to have this back-vintage from the excellent 2017 growing season.
