"A lemony sweetness to be served chilled!
With its sumptuous golden yellow color, this Muscat du Cap Corse delivers aromas of white flowers, citron, spices and honey. On the palate, it's long-lasting, gourmet and racy, full of voluptuousness and freshness. A perfect aperitif wine, it also goes well with a cheese platter...

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Vin noté (guide 2024) 2*Coup de Coeur (Millésime 2021) (Vin remarquable)
Rated domain (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)
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.

Vin noté (guide 2024) 93/100 (Millésime 2021)
Rated domain (2022 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers 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.
