Yves Leccia - IGP Ile de Beauté Altru Biancu 2023
93/100
RVF
"A pure Biancu Gentile bursting with energy, both round and lemony!"
"Clear, bright gold. Very fragrant, with mineral notes, white fruit, and a hint of chalk. The palate is invigorating, beautifully vibrant, consistent, ripe and salty. This is a Biancu Gentile of great purity and elegance, with subtle bitter notes that linger; this 2023 vintage is ready to drink, without any artificial woodiness, and offers significant aging potential of more than five years." (Le Guide RVF 2026)

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.

About the wine:
Clear, bright gold. Very fragrant, with mineral notes, white fruit, and a hint of chalk. The palate is invigorating, bright, consistent, ripe, and salty. This is a Biancu Gentile of great purity and elegance, with a lingering, subtle bitterness. Ready to drink now, without any artificial woodiness, this 2023 vintage has considerable aging potential, more than five years.
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.
