"Rosé of choice for summer on incredibly fruity notes!"
YL rosé boasts a luminous, pale pink color and an intense, fruity nose, opening with delicate aromas of red fruits. The palate is fresh, greedy, slightly acidic, with a light sparkle that is a sign of the domaine's savoir-faire.

About the domain :
Yves Leccia, an oenologist involved in the revival and promotion of island wines, set up his own estate in 2005, after running the family business with his sister for some fifteen years. Today, with his wife Sandrine, he manages 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, which is also often recognized for its Muscats.

Rated (guide 2024) 91/100 (Vintage 2022)
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Yves Leccia and his partner Sandrine run a vineyard located mainly on the E Croce and Partinelone plots. The land is ploughed and tilled, and organic fertilizers are used. In recent years, the estate has innovated with new wines such as O Bà, Biancu Marinu and L'Altru Biancu. These carefully-crafted wines remain good ambassadors for Corsican vineyards, but care must be taken not to erase too much of their individuality: some of the wines, more formatted than in the past, give pride of place to technicality.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 12/12/2024
Slightly vinous and above all flowing, YL is a rosé that seduces as much by its sparkling fruit with a slightly sweet trail (raspberry, clementine, apricot), as by its floral nuances and spicy touch. The palate is ample and taut, while the texture is fleshy and graceful, almost unctuous. Long, salivating finish with a hint of iodine. Pleasantly versatile, from the aperitif with sea urchin coral toast, to the table with small red mullet à la bonifacienne or mussels stuffed à la sétoise. Score = 3.9 due to the high price of this entry-level wine.
