Sipping Fine Wine

One of top sites in the village of Pernand-Vergelesses, lies just below Île, lower on the slope with more clay and iron, planted in 1954. Straw yellow color with rich stone fruits, floral and toasty notes. On the palate flavors of apple and ripe pear with citrus, biscuit notes and gentle spice, great mouthfeel. Long finish ending with fruit, vanilla, toasty biscuit and a mineral tang. Nice! — 7 months ago

From Île d'Orléans, shockingly drinkable for a Quebec wine without being a sweet acid bomb. Balanced and semi-dry. — 9 months ago

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! — 2 years ago

Unique expression of Armagnac, with grapes grown on an island off the coast of France. Salinity, lightly oaked, brilliant. — 5 years ago

2020 so a bit more age on this one, cools things down. Very soft nuances of yellow fruits with small pink notes. A lactic touch as well. Very nice for the 6,49 I paid 🙃 — 2 years ago

A lot of Muscat aroma comes thru the lees contact ad interest Vermentino comes through on the mouth — 5 years ago
