History of Domaine Icy Liu

Domaine Icy Liu was born from an encounter between a woman, a territory and a deep passion for the great wines of Burgundy. Originally from China, Icy Liu discovered the world of wine at an early age and developed a particular fascination for the complexity and finesse of Burgundian wines.

After specialised studies and several professional experiences within recognised estates, she decided to settle in Burgundy to create her own structure. Her objective: to produce wines reflecting both Burgundian tradition and a modern sensibility open to the world.

Based in Côte-d'Or, the estate today works across small surfaces, primarily through grape purchasing and close partnerships with local growers. This high-end micro-négociant approach allows Icy Liu to carefully select the finest plots and vinify highly distinctive cuvées.

In just a few vintages, Domaine Icy Liu has managed to attract the attention of enthusiasts and professionals alike, becoming one of the most compelling emerging names on the new Burgundian scene.

Terroirs and Vines of Domaine Icy Liu

Domaine Icy Liu draws on a mosaic of terroirs located primarily in Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. The grapes come from rigorously selected plots, worked by partners who share the same commitment to quality.

The Burgundian soils, composed of clay, limestone and marl, offer an ideal terrain of expression for pinot noir and chardonnay. Each cuvée is conceived as the faithful interpretation of a precise climat, with particular attention paid to the origin of the grapes.

Even though the estate does not claim any certification, the majority of the vines are cultivated according to principles close to organic farming: soil work, respect for biodiversity, manual harvesting and moderate yields.

This approach makes it possible to produce grapes of great purity, an indispensable foundation for the creation of rare and authentic wines that are faithful reflections of their appellations.

Vinifications at Domaine Icy Liu

In the cellar, Icy Liu favours a highly respectful approach to the raw material. Vinifications are conducted with minimal intervention so as to let the terroir and the vintage speak for themselves.

For red Burgundies, the grapes are generally partially destemmed, with gentle macerations and delicate extractions. The ageing takes place in French oak barrels, with a carefully measured proportion of new wood to preserve the elegance of the pinot noir.

Burgundy white wines benefit from precise pressing, natural fermentations and ageing on fine lees, bringing texture and complexity without ever masking the freshness.

The style of Domaine Icy Liu is distinguished by its finesse, precision and balance. Wines of great purity, often already very appealing in their youth, yet endowed with real ageing potential.
