The 2024 vintage of Domaine de Marquiliani Rouge reaffirms why this Corsican estate continues to captivate lovers of elegant, terroir-driven reds. From the first pour, the wine reveals a luminous garnet hue, shimmering with youthful vibrancy. On the nose, its immediately expressive: wild herbs, crushed raspberries, black olive, and a whisper of smoky minerality, all hallmarks of the Mediterranean maquis that surrounds the estate.

The palate is light to medium-bodied, but dont let that fool youtheres real structure and tension here. Bright red fruits (cranberry, cherry skin) dance across a backbone of savory, earthy complexity. A streak of salinity and finely integrated acidity give it lift, while the tannins are silky yet persistent, offering a firm finish without overwhelming delicacy.

This vintage shows the signature restraint and refined minimalism that winemaker Anne Amalric is known for. Fermentation in stainless steel and minimal oak use keep the focus squarely on freshness and transparency.

Pairing Suggestions: Grilled lamb chops with rosemary, charcuterie, lentils with smoked sausage, or a simple tomato and olive tart. Best served with a slight chill.

Conclusion: Domaine de Marquiliani Rouge 2024 is a graceful, terroir-expressive wine that showcases the elegance of Corsican reds. Its a must-try for those who appreciate the balance of rustic charm and modern precision. Drink now through 2028.
