Domaine Vetriccie

Ile de Beaute Pinot Noir 2019

This is for the rouge, which was not listed. Lovely vanilla and baking spices on the nose. Very unique! A bit of tannin, but not too much so. On the palate I can't identify a specific thing, but maybe some dark fruits. Wow, never had these grapes before and they are so different than the traditional ones we are familiar with (GSM, for example). Love this! — 3 years ago

Domaine Barcelo

Ile de Beaute Rosé Blend 2023

Interesting “Island of Beauty” Rose’ blend of Corsican varietals Niellucciu (40%) and Sciaccarellu (30%) and International varietals Grenache (15%) and Merlot (15%). Pale salmon/pink color. Aromas of fresh red berries and mint. Same red berries on the palate with touches of wet slate. Long mineral laiden finish. Fruit forward, but well balanced, dry and harmonious. Crisp and easy drinking. Excellent QPR! — 6 months ago

Domaine d'E Croce (Yves Leccia)

Ile de Beauté Red Blend 2019

Yves Leccia’s 2019 Île de Beauté IGP Rouge is a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Niellucciu, hailing from the northerly appellation of Patrimonio, Corsica.

Île de Beauté – the namesake for many wines produced on the island – translates to ‘island of beauty’ in English.

This is a beautiful wine, indeed. It is medium ruby with ripe cherry, strawberry, and kirsch notes leaping out of the glass; it also offers licorice, fennel, violet, and subtle meaty characteristics. The fruit is unmistakably intense and concentrated. I suspect it’s a reflection of the dry, sun-soaked climate on this beautiful, mountainous Mediterranean Island.

This is such a versatile and food-friendly wine – it’s definitely worth a taste if you have the chance (preferably while gazing upon Corsica’s coastal seascapes). Cheers to the wines of Corsica!
