Yves Leccia - IGP Ile de Beauté Altru Biancu 2023
93/100
RVF
"A pure Biancu Gentile bursting with energy, both round and lemony!"
"Clear, bright gold. Very fragrant, with mineral notes, white fruit, and a hint of chalk. The palate is invigorating, beautifully vibrant, consistent, ripe and salty. This is a Biancu Gentile of great purity and elegance, with subtle bitter notes that linger; this 2023 vintage is ready to drink, without any artificial woodiness, and offers significant aging potential of more than five years."

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:
Clear, bright gold. Very fragrant, with mineral notes, white fruit, and a hint of chalk. The palate is invigorating, bright, consistent, ripe, and salty. This is a Biancu Gentile of great purity and elegance, with subtle bitterness that lingers; this 2023 vintage is ready to drink, without any artificial woodiness, and offers significant aging potential of more than five years.
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.
