2024 Icy Liu Mercurey 'Komorebi' Rouge, Cote Chalonnaise, France
$105.00
"Komorebi (pronounced ko-mo-reh-bee) is a Japanese phrase that describes the sunlight that filters through the leaves of trees. This wine, like life itself, is momentary, fleeting, and quietly luminous — a reflection of komorebi: the gentle light that filters through the trees, ephemeral yet unforgettable. Many of my favorite wines are like this: Michel Grisard’s mondeuse or the wines of Jacques Maillet." - Icy
