"Rosé of choice for summer with incredibly fruity notes!"

Yves Leccia - IGP Ile de Beauté YL rouge 2022

4.4/5 (5 reviews)

"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)

Yves Leccia - IGP Ile de Beauté Altru Biancu 2022

"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).

Yves Leccia - Muscat du Cap Corse 2021

"A lemony sweetness to be served chilled!

"The 2021 Muscat, a worthy successor to the 2017, is also a 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, impregnated with pure fruit and unforgettable length, the mouth 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)

"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, and 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. All in all, this is a fresh, full-bodied, fine white that's equally at home at the table or as an aperitif". (Le Guide RVF 2025)

Yves Leccia - Patrimonio E Croce rouge 2021

5/5 (1 reviews)

"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 that go well with the whole. Beautiful balance, the freshness of the 2021s and a good ageing potential". (Le Guide RVF 2025)

4.7/5 (6 reviews)

This superb wine from the Ile de Beauté reveals generous aromas of red berries (cherry, raspberry) supported by a delicate note of licorice. The palate is luscious and voluptuous, with supple tannins and a long finish. Gourmandise in a bottle!

Yves Leccia - IGP Ile de Beauté Altru Biancu 2021

"A pure Biancu Gentile bursting with energy!"

Altru Biancu, which translates as "the other white", gives us the expression of Biancu Gentile, a forgotten native grape variety. In its brilliant light yellow color, the wine is very expressive, with scents of white flowers and hints of honey. Remarkably fresh on the palate, the attack is greedy and mineral, with a taut finish.

5/5 (1 reviews)

"A vintage synonymous with pleasure!

"Smoky, lardy notes in E Croce, whose ashy flavors are accompanied by a lovely softness of flesh: it gains in brightness and freshness with air, but its breeding remains a little marked." (Le Guide RVF 2023) A fine expression of Patrimonio terroir, with precision, freshness and elegance!

Yves Leccia - Ile de Beauté E Croce blanc 2022

"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 Corsican success story!
