Taipei-born Icy Liu has charted an atypical course since her engineering studies at Columbia University in New York. Leaving behind the classical path of finance, she explored a variety of businesses before discovering her passion for wine. 

In 2018, against her parents' advice, Icy moved to Burgundy, where she enrolled at the Burgundy Business School and University, earning an MBA in wine with distinction and a diploma in oenology. Since 2019, she has worked at Becky Wasserman & Co, where she is in charge of social media and Asian market development.

In 2022, at the instigation and with the help of her friend Bastian Wolber, she vinified two Gamay cuvées in Chris Santini's cellar in Auxey-Duresses. The two wines she produces today, a rosé and a red, come from the same parcel of land in the southern Beaujolais region at Saint-Germain-Nuelles.

“Komorebi,” the Japanese word for light filtering through leaves, perfectly captures the spirit of this Mercurey: a profound wine yet imbued with clarity. The Pinot Noir, vinified with whole bunches, expresses its earthy brilliance here.

The nose blends ripe red fruit, pink peppercorn, and forest floor.

On the palate, the wine unfolds gently, fleshy and textured, then tightens in a saline finish. A luminous and vibrant wine, poised between the density of the limestone soil and the delicacy of unadorned winemaking.
