"A white wine that smells divinely of the South!"

With its intense bouquet, blending aromas of white flowers and lemon, the YL white cuvée offers a fresh, easy-drinking, and slightly tart palate. An expressive white wine that pairs perfectly with oysters or a piece of tomme cheese!

About the estate:

An oenologist involved in the revival and promotion of island 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 (2026 guide) 91/100 (2024 vintage)

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

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 cultivated, and only organic soil amendments 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.
