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.

The name “Mulan” pays homage to the quiet strength that inhabits this wine: a firm grace, never forced. It unfolds a vibrant nose of black cherry, peony, and wet stone. On the palate, the texture is supple, fluid yet concentrated, with a mineral backbone that extends the finish. This is a Santenay of tension and poetry, where the winemaker's hand is evident in the precision of her technique and the restraint of the oak.
