"A top-notch rosé for summer with incredibly fruity notes!"

YL Rosé boasts a luminous, very pale pink color and an intense, fruity nose that opens with delicate aromas of red berries. On the palate, it is fresh, rich, and slightly tart, with a gentle effervescence that reflects the estate’s expertise.

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 alongside 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.

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 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. GILLES D. Published on 12/12/2024

With a hint of winey character and, above all, a smooth mouthfeel, YL is a rosé that captivates as much with its sparkling fruitiness and slightly tart finish (raspberry, clementine, apricot) as with its floral nuances and spicy note. The palate is full-bodied and taut, while the texture is rich and graceful, almost creamy. It has a lovely, mouth-watering finish with a hint of brininess. A pleasantly versatile aperitif, it pairs well with sea urchin coral on toast, or as an accompaniment to small red mullet prepared Bonifacienne-style or Sète-style stuffed mussels. Rating: 3.9 due to the high price of this entry-level wine.
