Domain by E Croce Yves Leccia
Domain d' E Croce was created in 2005 by Yves Leccia. It comprises 15 ha 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 Domain d' E Croce Yves Leccia, the soil is cultivated in the traditional way: the vines are ploughed and mechanically dethatched to avoid the use of herbicides, amendments are exclusively organic and the grapes are harvested by hand. The Domain d' E Croce Yves Leccia offers all three colors in the Patrimonio AOC, white and red in the Vin de Pays de l'Ile de Beauté, red in the Vin Doux Naturel, and Muscat in the Muscat du Cap Corse AOC.

"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, 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)

"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)

"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.

"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!

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!
