Yves Leccia 'YL' île de Beauté Blanc, Corsica, France 2022
Yves Leccia's 'YL' Blanc is a Mediterranean summer vacation in a bottle. This dry, high-acid Corsican white is built for anyone who craves sea-mist salinity and the sun-ripened snap of a fresh nectarine; keep a bottle chilled for whenever you need a trip to the beaches of the Île de Beauté.
Tasting Notes
"Sun-ripened stone fruits like peaches and nectarines meet a distinct sea-breeze finish and fresh herbs. It's elegant, mineral-driven and slightly less than medium-bodied. Pair with grilled fish, oysters or a summer salad." — Harvest Wine Shop

About Yves Leccia
YVES LECCIA
Raised in a small village in the heart of Patrimonio, Yves worked alongside his father in the vines and cellar at the earliest age he could. The Leccias have been making wine from the finest terroirs of Patrimonio for countless generations. Originally working alongside his sister, he decided to branch off on his own in 2004 and focus on the terroir he felt was best. “E Croce” sits on a thin chalk soil above a bedrock of pure schist, facing the gulf of St. Florent. Yves is a firm believer in the idea that if you want something done right you need to do it yourself, tending his vines alone and working the cellar by himself. He keeps his yields low, knows when to harvest , and knows how to let E Croce express itself in the wines.
