"YL Rouge 2014 is fair and balanced, offering a beautiful southern aromatic palette with notes of oregano and maquis. The tannins are well managed, and the whole is appealing for its roundness." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2017 - RVF)

Wine rating (2017 guide) 2 stars (Outstanding wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About wine:
A highly talented winemaker working with a high-quality IGP. He extracts the full aromatic potential from the Grenache grape variety (80%): jammy black fruits, blackcurrant jelly. The Niellucciu adds spice and tannins, which are remarkably well integrated. This supple, indulgent wine offers beautiful harmony between the nose and palate, with plenty of depth.
About the estate:
An oenologist involved in the revival and promotion of island wines, Yves Leccia created his own estate in 2005, after running the family business with his sister for around fifteen years. Today, he and his wife Sandrine manage a 16-hectare vineyard on clay-limestone and schist soils in Poggio-d'Oletta. Certified organic since 2017, it is one of the pillars of the Patrimonio appellation, often in the spotlight for its Muscat wines.

About wine:
YL red 2014 is fair and balanced, offering a beautiful southern aromatic palette with notes of oregano and maquis. The tannins are well managed, and the whole is appealing in its roundness.
About the estate:
Yves Leccia and his partner Sandrine run a vineyard located mainly on the E Croce and Partinelone plots. The entire area is plowed and worked, and organic fertilizers are used. The estate has been very innovative in recent years with new wines such as O Bà, Biancu Marinu, and L'Altru Biancu. These carefully crafted wines remain excellent ambassadors for Corsican viticulture, but care must be taken not to obscure their individuality: some wines, more standardized than in the past, give pride of place to technicality.
