Clos Culombu’s wines are a true reflection of Corsica’s rugged terroir, Mediterranean climate, and indigenous grape varieties. The estate produces a diverse range of wines, each marked by freshness, minerality, and a sense of place.
White Wines (Blancs): Made primarily from Vermentinu, these wines are vibrant and aromatic, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and stone fruits, often accompanied by a distinctive saline minerality. Some cuvées, particularly those aged on lees or in amphorae, develop richer textures and layers of complexity.
Rosé Wines: Crafted from Sciaccarellu and Niellucciu, these rosés are fresh and lively, with bright red berry aromas, hints of wild herbs (maquis), and a crisp, mineral-driven finish. They beautifully capture the Mediterranean essence of Corsican rosé.
Red Wines (Rouges): The reds showcase the island’s native grapes like Niellucciu and Sciaccarellu, often blended with Syrah. They range from juicy, fruit-forward styles with soft tannins to more structured, age-worthy wines with dark berry flavors, spicy notes, and earthy, garrigue-like complexity.
Clos Culombu’s commitment to organic and biodynamic farming ensures that each wine retains its purest expression of Corsica’s wild landscapes, making them a perfect choice for those seeking both authenticity and innovation in their glass.
