“The style is precise; the wine doesn’t overdo it on power. With this grape variety, the quest for balance is indeed paramount. A complex white with tremendous length.” (RVF Special Vintage 2014 – June 2015) A vintage that’s pure pleasure!

Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
An oenologist involved in the revival and promotion of the island’s wines, Yves Leccia founded his own estate in 2005, after managing the family business with his sister for about fifteen years. Today, together with his wife Sandrine, he runs 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 and is also frequently recognized for its Muscat wines.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 16-18/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
The style is refined; the wine doesn't overdo it on power. With this grape variety, the pursuit of balance is indeed paramount. A complex white with tremendous length.
About the estate:
Yves Leccia and his partner, Sandrine, run a vineyard located primarily on the E Croce and Partinelone plots. The entire vineyard is plowed and tilled, and only organic fertilizers are used. The estate has been highly innovative in recent years, introducing new wines such as O Bà, Biancu Marinu, and L'Altru Biancu. These meticulously crafted wines remain fine ambassadors for Corsican viticulture, but care must be taken not to overshadow their individuality: some wines, more standardized than in the past, place too much emphasis on technical precision.

Review by Mr. REMY G. Published on April 7, 2020
Two opened bottles, one of which, unfortunately, had a corked taste—that’s why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5, because otherwise the bottle we drank was a wine of very high quality, a true gourmet white that paired wonderfully with a cod fillet.
