Domaine Comte Abbatucci ‘Diplomate d’Empire’ Blanc, Corsica 2022

Jean-Charles Abbatucci is a well-known figure in Corsica, and his family's legacy dates back to the French Revolution. In the capital city of Ajaccio, his surname can be seen on monuments, street corners, and in wine bars. He is a strong advocate for Corsican culture, biodynamic viticulture, and the revival and preservation of native wine grapes. As a result, he is producing some of the finest wines on this rugged and isolated island. All of his vineyards are managed with biodynamic farming methods, and everything is done in the cellar to ensure the purest expression of the region's unique terroir. 

When it comes to discussing the best white wines in the world, we often mention Chardonnay from Burgundy, GG German Rieslings, and the exceptional Chenin Blanc of the Loire. However, it's worth exploring the potential of a blend of Corsican native varietals - many of which are on the verge of extinction - and their remarkable ability to produce a truly magical wine. This particular wine, named after one of Jean-Charles' ancestors who bravely fought and died during the French Revolution, boasts a full-bodied yet finely-tuned flavor. This stunning bottle of wine is on par with some of the best white wines in the world.
