Domaine d'E Croce Yves Leccia
Domaine d'E Croce was created in 2005 by Yves Leccia. It comprises 15 hectares of vines on the magnificent E Croce and Partinelone plots, in the Corse Patrimonio appellation. These south-west-facing hillside terroirs, on clay-limestone soils with schist, lie at the foot of the mountain range that extends the Cap Corse, and benefit from a microclimate due to the maritime influence of the Gulf of Saint-Florent, highly conducive to good ripening. 

At Domaine d'E Croce Yves Leccia, soil cultivation is traditional: the vines are ploughed and mechanically dethatched to avoid the use of herbicides, amendments are exclusively organic and the grapes are harvested by hand. Domaine d'E Croce Yves Leccia offers all three AOC Patrimonio colors, white and red Vin de Pays de l'Ile de Beauté, red Vin Doux Naturel, and Muscat AOC Muscat du Cap Corse.

"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.

"Juicy, with red berries and powdery tannins, it's a perfect combination!"

"Dominant Grenache and Niellucciu, dark red with purple highlights. Notes of blue plums and roses, fine, ripe and powdery. The mouth texture is tight, juicy and the tannins are just waiting to develop a patina over time. The whole is fresh and soon accessible, for five years or more". (Le Guide RVF 2024)

"A pure Biancu Gentile bursting with energy, both round and lemony!"

"A crisp wine that seems to smell and taste as much of lemon-scented rock salt crystals as freshly baked sourdough bread and grated green apples. It's wonderful. It has a salty, limpid, dancing length - like looking through a telescope, from the top of a cliff, at a vast expanse of motionless ocean glistening in the sunlight. It is as thirst-quenching as it is thirst-quenching." (Jancis Robinson 2023).

"A lemony sweetness to be served chilled!

"The 2021 Muscat is a worthy successor to the 2017, also consecrated Favorite. Born from a selection of plots located on the E Croce terroir, it unreservedly delivers its scents of white flowers and honey. Comfortable, full-bodied, imbued with pure fruit and unforgettable length, the palate perfectly assumes its 120 g/l of residual sugar. A sensual sweetness, to be sipped on its own or with blue-veined cheese". (Le Guide Hachette 2024)

"You can hear the cicadas singing when you open this fruity, floral rosé!

Yves Leccia's cuvée E Croce rosé is the ideal partner for a meal with a glass of wine. This blend of vin de saignée and vin de pressurage is vinous, full-bodied and fleshy, with a lovely freshness. It reveals a precise floral and fruity style, with a slightly spicy, mineral finish and long persistence. Enjoy it as an aperitif or with spicy Mediterranean dishes. Simply delicious!

"Superb Vermentino from Corsica, complex and mineral".

"Minerality and a touch of citrus, Vermentinu in its purest expression. The fresh, lively aspect of the grape variety is tactile, there's no wood, the fine bitters are lengthening, this is a sure value from this serious, consistent quality estate. With grilled or fried fish, even raw or marinated, it's an ideal partner for the table" (Le Guide RVF 2025).

"A white that smells divinely of the South!"

"Bright, light gold. A fine, floral profile, a duo of Vermentinu and Biancu Gentile in a refined version, as always with no wood to bring out the saline character and enhance the minerality of the place. The structure is very invigorating, ripe and fresh, with the Biancu Gentile adding fleshiness. In short, this is a fresh, full-bodied, fine white wine that's equally at home at the table or as an aperitif". (Le Guide RVF 2025)

"A cuvée synonymous with pleasure, ideal for discovering Patrimonio PDO".

"The opposite of YL red, Cuvée E Croce is largely dominated by Niellucciu, the color density is darker, carmine-garnet, notes of black cherry appear, no woodiness, fruit always in the foreground, hints of spice. On the palate, the juice is ripe and racy, with a good sense of the schist, and very fine tannins. Beautiful balance, the freshness of the 2021s and a good ageing potential". (Le Guide RVF 2025)

"Superb Vermentino

A very elegant, complex white on the nose, with a touch of flint. The palate is full and round, with a perfect balance of fat and freshness. The finish is elegant and mineral, with a hint of iodine that lasts a long time. A Patrimonio success story!

Well-structured without being overpowering, the palate displays fine black pepper flavors on the finish". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019) Cuvée Hommage !

"Elegant and full-bodied, Altru Biancu is a vibrant tribute to bianco gentile, unfurling its crisp, slightly vegetal flavors between spices and citrus fruit." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2020 - RVF) Altru Biancu (formerly Biancu Gentile) is a very expressive white wine, with white flower scents and hints of honey, and a remarkable freshness on the palate, which is greedy and mineral, with a taut finish. "A pure Biancu Gentile bursting with energy!
