Yves Leccia Ile de Beaute Rouge 2022

In the 1960s, French subsidies pushed "noble" varieties across Corsica at the expense of the island's native grapes, a trend that today's Corsican growers, Yves Leccia among them, have decisively reversed. This organically farmed 2022 Grenache blend carries that reclaimed sense of place, with the kind of structure and mid-palate weight that comes from an island learning to trust itself again. Heritage isn't nostalgia here. It's the whole point.
