"A superb Vermentino from Corsica, complex and mineral"

“A light, fragrant nose with notes of hawthorn. A sun-drenched abundance of white peaches and bergamot in a bright, tangy profile, punctuated by salty notes. Creamy, parabolic curves transform the citrus into lemon cream and candied peel. Soft, sweet, and luminously green herbs: basil, lemon balm, angelica. Very fragrant. Very pure. A mineral finish—cool and damp, like wet pebbles.” (Jancis Robinson 2025)

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 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 (2025 guide) 91/100 (Excellent wine)

About the wine:

The E Croce Blanc 2024 reveals aromas of white flowers, curry leaves, ripe orchard fruits, and iodine, followed by a moderately full-bodied, round, and supple palate, with a delicately fleshy fruit core, lively acidity, and a long, briny finish. Elegant and fragrant, it is an ideal introduction to Corsican white 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 wine:

Light yellow with green highlights. A very pure Vermentinu with a lovely mineral brightness and floral and orgeat notes. On the palate, it offers a light, refined, and refreshing structure. Not meant for aging, it provides immediate enjoyment and pairs well as an aperitif or with grilled fish.

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.

About the wine:

A light, fragrant nose with notes of hawthorn. A sun-drenched abundance of white peaches and bergamot in a bright, zesty profile, punctuated by salty notes. Creamy, parabolic curves transform the citrus into lemon cream and candied zest. Soft, sweet, and luminously green herbs: basil, lemon balm, and angelica. Very fragrant. Very pure. A mineral finish—cool and damp, like wet pebbles.

About the wine:

The Patrimonio E-Croce 2024 comes from one of Patrimonio’s finest terroirs, characterized by clay-limestone soil interspersed with schist, which lends the wine a devilish precision and makes it a powerful expression of Vermentino. In 2024, the wine expresses itself with notes of stone and a well-integrated reduction. The texture is pure, lively, balanced, and very dynamic. A mineral wine, crafted with skill and great style, it is a lively and fresh white that can be enjoyed now through 2030.
